White Cloudy Water

[impact1122]

I have been recently fighting some high ammonia levels in my new 50gal tank and they have just started to go down and now my nitrite levels are going up.... which I know is expected. I did around a 15-20% water change today and now my water is a white cloudy color. I thought it would clear up but it has been the same for a couple hours. Any ideas what it might be?

sounds like a bacterial bloom. Thats what i have experienced in the past hopefully its a good thing.

Yep it is most likely a bacterial bloom, which are common during cycles. Once your nitrite starts to drop it should clear up.
