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.....

| Deal or Steal |  Sat Nov 19, 2011 5:41 pm by Mostlycichlids | I couldn't pass this one up this morning. I was cleaning a house two doors down and they were setting up a garage sale. When I finished up I noticed a tank and stand. Looked like a 40g or 55g at first glance. I was going to just keep going because I was working but decided to stop. Indeed it was a 55g with stand, it had a light strip and tops and UGF plates. I asked how much and I was suprised when they said $20 for the tank and stand etc... I pulled a $20 out and slapped it down without much thought at all. Anyway went back after work, picked it up and filled it with water to test for leaks....so good so far, it is 20 years old but looks like it has been re siliconed at one point in time. I was needing to move some of the fish out of the 120 as it is full as hell right and water changes are killing me....
Here it is, holding water....
