Can anyone help me, my water started to get thosands and thousands of little water particles in it. I done a water change although better still floating around and making it a bit misty

The tank has been running for around 4 week.... Is this normal ? Any ideas ?

Cheers :D

Sounds like you have a bacteria bloom which is normal for a new tank at this stage in the cycling process.

Thanks mate, is this good or bad news ?

Shall i just keep going and the water will begin to get my crystal clear in time after more water changes and decholrinator ?
 
Do you mean Particles of dirt and fish poop? Have you just dont a water change, and how often do you do them? If you have done a water change its perfectly normal and the filter will remove it in about 30mins. Otherwise im completly confused :rofl:
Edit: I see you did a water change, sorry was skim reading sounds normal to me.

Hi mate.

I done a water change yesterday but still the same (maybe a bit better) its kinda like mini particles floating its not dirt or anything though.

I was worried my filter wasnt strong enough but seems ok

It's normal and should start to disappear within days. After that it'll be crystal clear.
