I have had my 25 gallon freshwater tank for 8 months,and have been doing monthly water changes(25-30%)along with removing decorations prior to, as to siphon out feces and other sediment that settles in the rocks.Everytime I have cleaned it,the water has cleared right up within a few hours.Last week,after noticing that my pad filters were turning brown and causing water to flow right over them after only 2 weeks or less of replacing them,I decided to do a "deep clean" on my tank,which I had never done before.I did everything I normally do but also took apart the filter system and scrubbed all of the algae and gunk out that was stuck inside of it,thinking this was the reason for the filters turning so quick.W/in 3 days,the tank became (white) cloudier than it ever has been.I read some of the answers to previous questions and it sounds like this is normal and I just need to do 25% changes a few times a week until it goes away,but I just want to make sure. Plz let me know what u think.Thx.
