hello all,
First post. I had supper clear water and all was fine until a week ago.
I made a wooden canopy for my 55 gallon with a top lid, I also added a new super bright led light that runs white for 8 hours and blue for two more hours.
For over a week I have extremely cloudy water, I had some algae and did a water change when I cleaned it, but a day later it was super cloudy without any algae observed again.
After the water change I added some of that liquid prime and I added some algae out.
I also had added a live plant, hogwort,2 weeks ago that isn't doing so well any more after a few weeks.
Could the new light and canopy be heating the water to the point algae is growing or causing the cloudyness?
Could the plant as it is doing poorly cause it? it is dropping allot of leaves and pieces.
Or as the weather here is finally getting warmer causing the water to cloud up as the room temp is about 75 now?
I have 5 bantas and 3 other small fish. I clean and do a water exchange every two weeks.
I have a tile bottom.
Thank you for any input, I can add photos if needed.
