Green water

[Warr40]

I have a 30 gallon comunity tank..... It has been cloudy for about 2-3 weeks.
So yesterday I did a water change and when i filled it back up it was still cloudy
So i thought wait 24 hrs to let the filter run (Fluval 204) but its still cloudy

How long has the tank been set up, and what are your test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, and how many fish and what type.

Over feeding.
Bacteria bloom.
Mine just did it. I did 10% water changes for 3 days and its near on crystal clear now.

I had this happen for a few weeks. I did a water change, it came back. I did another, it came back and then went away and has since been crystal. It's probably a bacteria bloom.

Its like a green color..... if it's a bacteria bloom what shoud I do.
I went to the pet store today and they said its algea so they gave me Jungle No More Algea liquid.... would this work. If it does how long would it take to clear up.

I have some type of algae bloom too probally because I'm fishless cycling my tank and the water hasn't been changed in almost 20 days.

Keep an eye on how much water conditioner you are using, i was using too much and my water was clouding,which ment more water changes more conditioner, more cloudy water
Once i cut back and used the right amount the water was clear as a bell

0 i didnt know that

Too much conditioner causes cloudiness? I definitely didnt know that. This maybe the answer to my cloudy tank, has been cloudy for over a month. I always use too much.

 

[Warr40]

its not really cloudy its green what should i do

Try the Jungle tabs...but take out any activated carbon from your filter if you have any. SHould work in about 24 hours.
