Hi I was wondering , my 135 gal has been running for 3 years, And I have 2 HOB emperor 400, xP2,Xp3,Xp4 floor canisters... Recentley my tank started getting cloudy so I did a 30% water change as usual which I do once a week.. Then after the water change about 20 min later it started getting really cloudy and wouldn't go away ,its been 3 days now since the water change and seems to be getting worse, anyone know? :confused:

Hi DragonChic,
Is your aquarium still having troubles?
I may be able to help you clear it up and/or help figure out what went wrong to prevent future cloudiness.
Would you be able to give me these aquarium water readings: Ph, Gh ppm, Kh ppm, Nitrates ppm, and if any: ammonia level and/or Nitrites ppm.
Can you think of anything that was done differently, changed or cleaned, added or removed(decor/chemicals)? Any details will help.
Hope to hear back from you,
-Kae

I would check with your water company and see if they have added any new chemicals to your drinking water. That's one thing. I know sometimes my tanks would get cloudy and I bought some chemical to reduce cloudiness but more then 2 days went by and I found out our water company added more chlorine or other. So I had to add more water treatment then usual. I would check with your water company. After that I'm not sure.
