Cloudy water and other ER situation...

[woods1110]

I woke up yesterday and noticed my water was extremely cloudy. Well I got closer to the tank and started checking out my plants and everything and there is this white fuzz stuff all over my plants and decor...

I have a 10 gallon tank and it has been set up for a month. I have two live plants (java moss, and some other plant) and a hang on the back power filter. When I look closely at the filter, where the spout is that the water falls back into the tank, you can see the white fuzz on there too! My water is extremely cloudy and all this white fuzz is starting to worry me. The LFS told me my pH was ok and my ammonia was a little high...

Any suggestions??

It sounds like a bacteria bloom which is (usually) part of the cycling process. Are you cycling with fish or without? It should clear up in a couple of days. If you have fish in already, do regular water changes (25% every couple of days or so) to reduce the damage to fish that amonia causes, if you are fishless cycling, leave it. Read the pinned posts on fishless cycling or cycling with fish.
