Water Cloudiness

[The Equillibrium]

Hey guys,


This morning I noticed that my tank was getting really cloudy, so I tested the water and it came out to be 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate, and 7.0 ph. Perfect... Later I had to go tto shcool. I came ome and it was still cloudy so I did a water change(gravel vac) of 15%. The water cleared up some, but 2 hours later, its cloudy again. No fish dead, no overfeeding. I can only think of the new frozen food im using. Its hikari brand bloodworms and misis shrimp and says no clouding so idt its that. I also have some sf bay brand beefheart for my angels who dont like it...

If the cloud remains for a few more days I bet the cloud turns green. I have this problem, too, but my cause is always overfeeding. I'm not sure what your cause is if you're sure you are not overfeeding.
