Cloudy Water
Common types of cloudy water are Green, White, and sometimes you can run into a Yellowish or brownish tint type of cloudy water. Green water is an algae bloom. White water is usually a bacterial bloom and the yellowish water is normally organic in nature.
The green water is an algae bloom.Free floating single celled algae is what is turning the water green.The cause is almost always, excess nutrients or excessive lighting. Algae consumes oxygen at night and a severe algae bloom can reduce oxygen to critically low levels, so while treating the tank, add aeration until you have the problem solved.The causes usually are Overfeeding, Infrequent filter changes and Infrequent water changes all of these things will cause an increase in nitrate and phosphate levels in your aquarium.....

| Some Pics...via Cell Phone |  Mon Jun 13, 2011 7:58 pm by Wyomingite | Not the best pics in the world, but I've been thwarted in acquiring a camera again, temporarily. Anyways, this should give everybody a taste.
First, the 225 with O's and the GT visible...
Next, this one is for saint. The largest male Amphilophus "zaliosus" , LOL. This guy was a nice black and blue three weeks ago...
Tha odd couple, a weather loach and a Chinese algae eater who are inseparable. The gold "flashes are the gold barbs, who were moving too fast for the camera to catch.
And finally, three shots of my Essequibo River biotope tank, from left (top pic) to right (bottom pic). Couldn't get a decent pic with one shot...
This 55 gallon tank has glowlight tetras, gold tetras, dawn tetras, pristellas, green cories, melanistus cories, a banjo cat, and three BNs for algae control. The BNs will go to another tank when I can get my hands on some Ancistrus hoplogenys to remain true to the biotope. Final addition will be two cupid cichlids (Biotodoma cupido). Plants are swords and green cabomba, filtration is an Emperor 400. Two 32 watt T8 6500K daylight bulbs for lighting, no CO2 injection. The Cabomba has to be pruned weekly and the black sword at the far right has a runner that has two additional plants I need to trim and plant (you can see them at the top right).
Had a few others, but they didn't turn out at all. Well, better pics of these and more of my tanks some day.
