Re: discus tank is cloudy, but water is perfect. ideas?
What kind of substrate do you have? Any drift wood? When I added my newest piece of driftwood to my tank, it made my water really cloudy. That was after 2 weeks of soaking and regular water changes in the bucket it was in. Eventualy it went away, it took a week or 2 though.

Also, you may want to add some filter floss like material to your filter.

Is it cloudy as a bacteria bloom or is it cloudy from particles suspended in the water column?
Mine gets cloudy when I have my water polishing filter shut off. |

Re: discus tank is cloudy, but water is perfect. ideas?
I also have the same problem with my discus tank. All testing for PH, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels are normal. I added driftwood that i boiled and soaked for only 2 days. I change the tank water every 3 days, but the cloudiness still persists. Does anyone know if this will eventually disappear? Should I remove the driftwood?
