Cloudy Water How/what Needed To Clear

[bluesfan]

Tank has had half the water drained out,  i had 2 external filters running to clear  water after refill which seemed to do the job but after putting fish back water has got cloudy so much so that if you look through side of tank you cannot see other end of tank this is even after running both ext filters again + cleaning filters out   which made no differance  is there a product i can purchase to assist in clearing water any help would be great.

Did you cycle the tank? It could be a bacteria bloom. I had this in my livebearer tank when I first set it up. I didn't know anything about cycling and I thought I just had dirty water.

Bacteria bloom it could be, Happens in new uncycled tanks.

Hello,

I've used this stuff before (years ago, in a cold water tank):

It worked very well to clear suspended particles in the water column (She who must be ignored didn't wash the gravel very well!).

in my experience the best thing to use are moss balls.
