Cloudy Water In Established Aquarium

[Sanctuary80808]

Hello all,
my established 55 gallon aquarium which has been running for a couple of months (after cycle finished) has steadily become more and more cloudy. Does anyone have any idea why this is? The filter is an aqua one aquis 1050 which is rated for up to 200l. My stats are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 25 nitrate and pH 7.6. The stocking is 15 Neon Tetra, 15 Harlequin Rasbora, 6 Congo Tetra, 2 Pearl Gourami and 2 Blue Rams. there are also some cherry shrimp. The tank is quite heavily planted as well so i was thinking that maybe i needed to upgrade my filter to a higher capactiy one to take care of the cloudy water. Does anyone know whats going on? Thanks a lot!

Sounds like you could do with a new filter, or an extra one.

Your meant to aim for 5x your tank so you'd want one that can do 1,000 Lph

and planted 10x 2,000Lph.

My tank had a bacterial outburst not too long ago and I had cloudy water. I would do PWC, 10-15% per day, until it clears. Took about a week for mine to clear.
