OK guys I have a question, or maybe a problem.

In my 75 gallon bow front, I have my two jags. No Tank mates. I am running a fluval 204, a whisper 60, a whisper 20 and a Marineland magnum 220.

This tank has been hazy for 2 weeks. It looks like the water is really thick. I tested the water 4 days ago and my peramitors were: Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 20ppm. I didn't like the look so I did about a 70% waterchange and scrubbed all decorations and the glass. This is also the tank that had the brown algae about a month ago. Now the algae is gone but something is not right with this tank. I tested the water again tonight and my results were,

Ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 5ppm.

I can post a pic if I need to, and I do have lots of surface movement and an air bar running.

Sounds like a bacteria bloom. Water changes and light will make this worse. If this is the case, leave the light off and dont change the water for a little while. A pic would be helpful.

Here are the pics. I don't think it is a bloom as all the filters have been running for several months except the Fluval, that one I just hooked up a week ago to try and help clear this.

If you look at the pics the water just looks thick.

Yeah that doesnt look like a bloom. To be honest i am not quite sure what you are talking about. HAHA sorry.

If you look at the bottom of the tank, the plants look like it's a mirage maybe.. The water just looks thick. everything looks hazy. It is hard to see in those pics. But I can see it and it is driving me crazy.

I cant tell. But i do really like that tank. Very nice setup.

Thanks Bowhunter. I love it too when it looks right.

Does anyone else see this?

I think I can, there is something that's supposed to clear the water, Jungles makes it I think...worth a try

I try to avoid Chemicals if at all possible. I just don't trust them.

I don't use much but I keep a few bottles of Melafix around for emergencies and would be lost without my Prime.
