HELP - Problem with New Tank

[The Red Stripe Warrior]

Hello

I washed all my gravel and Added the new water with Water Conditoner, PH powder, and Some Bacteria tablets On thursday night, Was a bit cloudy but not too bad,

Friday it seemed fine, still a bit cloudy then I left for Wales for the weekend with The Heater, Filter and Air Pump running while I was gone for the weekend

Just got back, Turned the Light on and saw this

- Sitting on the bottom of the gravel and Rocks was white particle like dust and some of it floating in the water, I cleaned my filter which is also full of it, Now my water is really cloudy, and i Guess that tommorow it will be the same,

Any ideas, Ideas what it is and what i Can do

Please Help

Is it the ph powder? I've never heard of it before but maybe that's your problem. Check your water conditioners labels, a lot of them say to wait until adding more chemicals. I usually just throw some water conditioner in and wait for a bit before adding fish so I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable on all those meds )

i had the same prob once. i did multiple water changes, usually just one every day, but it wouldn't go away so i finally just had to completely take it apart and clean it again. it really sucked, but we never figured out what was wrong w/ it.

Very Strange Indeed, Well Cleaned the Filter Several times Yesterday, and looked at it this morning and it seems to cleared up alot, There still a little on the sitting on the bottom, but Im pretty sure it looks like its going to clear up

Cheers anyway
