Well you striped the whole tank down, now you have a bacterial bloom, as you are cycling again.

Have you done anything to the tank? How long has it been set up? Does it look like a pale white colour, like milky? If so then this is an bacteria bloom and it will just be the bacteria building up if it's a newly set up tank.

EDIT:

Just read through your other thread and it must be a bacteria bloom. Also your name is spelt wrong in your signature!

kris-b thanks for telling me about my sig.

What about tap conditiner and stress coat what do you want to no.

 

[withington]

will that get rid of the cloudyness quicker ?

 

[WILDER]

No you will have to be patient, it could be a while as the tank has started cycling again, there is nothing to be done, dosn't look nice, but you will just have to ride it out.

You could buy some nutrafin cycle to speed things up abit, but it's quite expensive about £4.00 for a small bottle, then it's not proven it works.

Without tests it hard to say, it could be days or a week or two.
