I have a friend that was asking me why his tank water looks milky looking. I did not know why, but I told him I would try and find out. If you know why it does and what can be done to stop this plz let me know thanks.

Yeah i have been over feeding and my water aint exactly clear as it should be, so i have been cutting back on their food, but i really have to do a full change of water, but i aint sure whether to risk it or not...?
