Re: standing bubbles on surface
the cloudiness is from a bacterial bloom. it'll be gone in a few days. no worries. The standing bubbles occurs when you dont have enough surface agitation. So put a powerhead or somethin on the top to mix things up.

Re: standing bubbles on surface
thanks. i put a canister pump thats made for 100 gallon tank to try to get rid of the standing bubbles and it helped but the cloudiness is still there. hope it will go away soon beacuse i want to see the true colors of my discus.

Re: standing bubbles on surface
You could also do a water change. That will help a bit but its still best to wait it out. Its a white cloudiness right? if its brown then its dyes from wood, if its green, then it algae.
