I have a 75 gallon FOWLR that has cloudy water( recently),I have to stir the cc and scrap the tank sides daily to keep it clean. I just checked the ph-0, ammonia-0,nitrites-0,nitrates-0 and the kh-8 and the specific gravity-1.023. I have not done anything different and this tank has been up for over a year and the last water change was 3 weeks ago. Need ideas because this is frustrating to look at. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

IMO u should put a activated carbon in the place with maximum flow throu it for a few days. And don't forget to add trace elements after removing the bag with carbon. This can help, as i said imo.
Good luck.

Thank You! That is exactly what I did today but not before I lost a fish <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" /> I again checked my water and all is fine so if anyone else has any ideas I would appreciate it. TIA
