Slight cloudiness - should I leave it alone?

[jonnyc88]

My tank completed a mini cycle about a week ago as I had a big tidy up and clean.
Water parameters are good:
pH : 6.8-7
Ammonia : 0ppm
Nitrite : 0ppm
Nitrate: 30ppm (I have heavily planted tank which I’ve recently made some changes to. I’m trying to get the Nitrates down)

I do notice a very, very slight cloudiness to the water though that’s more obvious if viewing tank length wise (from the side).

I did give the filter another rinse yesterday and noticed tank water turned greenish after rinsing. I would say there are some plant matter there but not as bad last week when I did the major tidy up.

The weird thing is that the cloudiness seems to be more obvious when the LED lights are on full brightness. I have the lights dimmed to 30% in the evenings and turned off at night and don’t really notice the cloudiness.

Anyway my gut feeling is to leave it alone as I don’t think it’s causing any harm. It would be ideal if I could get crystal clear water but I don’t really mind it as long as it’s not causing any harm to fish.

Just would appreciate some thoughts.

Might be a slight bacterial bloom I think.

Leave things as they are and hopefully within a week or two it should clear up.

As long as your livestock are unaffected and water parameters are all showing the usual 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and a low nitrate Reading then should be fine.

Thanks. I was reading website that say it should take 1-2 days for bacterial bloom to clear so was a bit worried.

Ordered x2 bamboo shrimps and x2 nerrite snails which hopefully would help with dealing with organic wastes in the tank,
