Why is my tank water a milky white?
This happened in the last few days. I checked all levels and they are normal. I did a deep clean on the tank today and the water is still a cloudy white color.

how do you know if all the levels are normal without liquid test kit for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph
until you test your tap water and tank water, you do not know

ive had this problem and it was because i was feeding my fish too much the uneaten food that sits behind rocks etc decays and causes a bacterial bloom, i didnt feed my fish for a few days and did a decent water change and it cleared up, i try not to feed my fish too much now, it sounds mean but youd be suprised how little food they actually need to survive.
