Hello eveyone,

I woke up this morning and found my aquarium very cloudy. my skimmer is over reacting as well. I had cleaned my filter floss last night and i figure i set off some kind of bacteria bloom. Fish look okay, Nitrates between 10-20, ammonia 0, nitrites 0 and its not precipitation. 90 gallon tank setup for one year

Im looking for some recommendations. i read that a water change will have no effect. ive aimed my powerhead to the surface and added an air pump below it. ive attached a picture, its more cloudy than the picture shows but you also see the micro bubbles from the power head.

It is definitely possible!

Have you checked your pH?

Sounds like you have taken some good steps so far with the extra air sources.
