well i recently moved my 75g back home and it was fine for three days and yesterday it went cloudy. so cloudy that i cannot see the p's anymore. i am in the cycle process of my new 125g so i cannot move my caribes out of the tank i dont know what else to do. i have done a 10% water change the last two days. for some reason i have had a ammonia spike. ammonia 4, nitrites 0, nitrates 8, ph 6.7 and temp 80. what else can i do and what could have caused this problem

i had a similar problem...with no ammonia spike.. my water didnt get even close to that cloudy though either. it was a bacteria bloom.i was told to do small water changes every day untill it goes away from one of the members here, and i did and it went away in like 3 days. hope this helps

Sounds like all your bacteria didnt survive the move so you are going through a mini cycle. The only think I dont like is the lack of nitrites. I would do some smaller water changes, add a little salt and feed sparingly for a while until your bacteria builds back up.

yeah you can try waterchanges. i had the same thing happen about a year i did 25% waterchange everyday and in a week back to normal.

The water changes should help but you could also try the Bio spira, it should cycle the aquarium over night if nothing else it would prob take the edge off
