Help! Tank water blurry for last 30 days.

You recommend I do the water vacuum in increments of 25% per week? I can't do it all at once without risking fish, right?

I don't think it will harm the fish. Try to vacuum all the gravel. Also rinse out the filter pad.

Is the back of the aquarium painted? If not, could the sunlight be creating an algae bloom?

[ktipp]

No, the back has a cover picture. Thanks though

Update. I did 50% water change yesterday. Cleaned gravel in the process.

Tank cleared up with a 50% improvement. Will do another change tomorrow.

Thanks guys.

Sunlight that close to a tank could still cause it though? My parents had a tank that had crazy algae problems and it was right about where your tank was in relation to the window. Good luck though, glad it's clearing up!

[ktipp]

Thanks Zack. I will move it from the window as well.

If its freshwater Try some new carbon. they sell these little cartridges where you can ran an airline to with carbon in the chamber. really cheap too.

[ktipp]

Thanks, but not sure what airline carbon you are referring to. If you could find me a link of it at any one of the online fish stores and post it.

Thanks and I appreciate it.
