Help! Tank water blurry for last 30 days.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? It completed cycle and water test are perfect.
This tank is a 28 gallon with 4 guppies.
Things I have already tried:
1) 25% Water change
2) Clear water drops
3) New Carbon filter in my Aqueon QuietFlow 50
Thanks in advance.

Loooks like you have a bacteria bloom.... make sure tank is getting plenty of oxygen......plenty of water changes to stay ahead of the reproduction... the easiest way to clear it up is a UV sterilizer but not cheap and not always practical

looks like the clear drops are doing there job, if I remember correctly they bind to organics making clumps pretty much so filter can hold them. are you using some kind of filter pad, and has it clogged up.

Yes, the Aqueon filter is catching the clumps however the water is still very cloudy/blurry.

It could be from the gravel. Did you rinse them before putting then into the tank?

Yes, I rinsed the gravel.
Wondering if there is a way to rinse again without putting the tank through another cycle and kill my fish.

Siphon vacuum the gravel so it can take off the extra debris. Than replace the water with RO or distilled water. It should go away in a couple 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?
