for some reason now the tank is very cloudy,

I have found that when i drop a alge waffer in that he goes for it and nibbles a bit, then i see the rest of it laying on the bottom all crumbled up not being eaten, WHAT GIVES? I THOUGHT THEY LIKE THEM?

IT BETTER CLEAR UP BECAUSE THERES NO WAY I'M STARTING THIS TANK OVER AGAIN

An algae wafer is a failry large piece if food. I would suggest just breaking it in half or less, and feeding that. Excess food in your tank can cause cloudiness because the food starts to decay. Stop feeding altogether until it clears. Some will say to kill your lights, but that will make no difference.

All leftover food will cloud your water as well as aid in the build up of ammonia so i wouldnt drop a whole one in there. I only put in about a quarter of an algea wafer in at a time when i put one in my tank, what you should do is put a wafer in there and see how much of it he'll eat within 2 hours then take it out, next time break off about the amount he ate and you should be fine.
