Your corals may have been spawning for years but only on a small scale and your filtration removed any trace of it before your lights came back on the next day.
This year may be different! Run through the items in this article to ensure it is not something else causing the cloudiness and if not, congratulations!
You could have a thriving Reef! To me, having an animal reproducing in your aquarium shows it is happy and all its needs are met! On the other hand, if you have no corals in your aquarium, or you only have a few and they are new, then spawning is not likely to be the cause.
Your aquarium is full of different types of bacteria all doing a specific job, you have Nitrosomonas Bacteria that convert Ammonia into Nitrite, you have Nitrobacter Bacteria that converts Nitrite to Nitrate and you have Bacteria that feed off organic waste such as uneaten food, poop, and detritus, just to name a few. The bacteria that are most likely to cause a milky cloudiness to your aquarium are called Heterotrophic Bacteria and these are the ones feeding on the decaying waste.
What this shows you is that you need to do more to remove the decaying matter in your tank. The cloudiness will soon clear with a bit of maintenance and a water change! Bacterial blooms are nothing to get panicked over, its just mother nature taking advantage of the abundance of available food.
As time goes on, the different bacteria will multiply to help deal with the bio-load and hopefully, your increased maintenance will prevent this from happening in the future. If you find this is happening regularly and your maintenance is good then you could look at adding a UV Sterilizer to your system. They come in all sizes to accommodate every tank size and the sterilizer will kill any bacteria that flows through it.
This could help control the cloudiness if you have tried everything else. If I was going to install a UV system on my aquarium I would definitely look at the great range of sterilizers from Aqua Ultraviolet stocked by AquariumSpecialty. They come in a vast range of sizes to accommodate any system and are bacteria sterilizing machines! When your aquarium water has gone green there is one culprit, Algae! The greeness occurs because your water has created the perfect environment for microscopic algae to have a growth explosion.
There are so many individual microscopic algae organisms that you can now visibly see them, hence the green water. If they multiply enough there can be cases where you cannot even see the fish!
I have seen this many times on freshwater aquariums where the maintenance has been poor at the best of times! Algae is a plant and it uses photosynthesis to convert light to food. If your aquarium has too long a lighting period or has direct sunlight you will get more algae growth. I have one small corner that receives direct sunlight first thing in the morning and that corner is always greener than the rest of the glass.
If this may be a cause, shade the tank somehow from the direct sun or reduce the lighting period on your lights. Bacteria colonies are normal residence in an aquarium. When the condition in the aquarium is perfect, the bacteria thrives and multiplies easily.
Bacteria number can increase easily in few days. The aquarium color would turn milky white, and as the days passed, the aquarium color would become dark. The bacterial bloom would take time to spread in the aquarium, so do not expect it to come into normal color or appearance in a week.
Sometimes it takes months as well to see the change in the watercolor. It is a slow process, which gradually impacts the water. Algae can grow in a high nutrient environment without a problem. If your tank generates a high amount of waste or food debris, it can cause algae blooms. Algae is a living thing and it is good to have small algae levels in your aquarium because your fish feed on them. But the problem arises where there are excess algae levels in the tanks. So it is wise to keep fewer algae in your tank to avoid cloudiness.
The decaying plants, fish food remains, and dead fish cause dirty-looking aquariums. Ensure the plants used in the tank are healthy. If you see the leaves of the plant turning yellow, it is an indication that the plants are would die soon. You should remove them from the tank or replace them with a new plant.
When it comes to feeding the fish, you should offer them food that your fish can eat in five minutes. If the fish cannot eat them all, the remaining fish food will tank down in the aquarium.
It will stay there for a while and start breaking down into small pieces. The leftover food would get mixed up in the aquarium, causing the water color to change.
Uneaten foods also help the bacteria multiply quickly, leading to dirty water in the fish tank. There are many ways you clean cloudiness problem from a fish tank using the equipment. We will discuss the cleaning as well as the prevention method in this article. The cloudiness in the aquarium water may appear due to the waste product.
You may have to reduce the waste in the aquarium water. The uneaten food moves with the aquarium, and as it gets wet, its tank to the bottom of the aquarium, where it is broken down into small pieces. Decomposing the food would take time, so the reaction would not be visible instantly. Always feed the fish in the right quantity. Another reason for the cloudy water is the too many fish in the small tank.
Overstocking the tank with too many fish makes the aquarium look cloudy. The reason for that is the waste product. The fish produce a good amount of waste produced during the day. The water filter would not be able to clean the waste causing the aquarium to become dirty.
Ensure that you are not overstocking the fish. As per the standard guidelines for managing the number of fish, you must have one gallon of aquarium water per one inch of tropical fish. Add three gallons of water per one inch of goldfish. Goldfish generally product large amount of the waste product.
You may have to change the water frequently; else, the aquarium would become dirty instantly. Larger the aquarium, the more waste the tank would handle.
Another most common reason is the new tank syndrome. Getting rid of algae in your fish tank is not easy once it gets established. As algae can be caused by several things, you need to use a multi-pronged attack strategy:.
Too much bright light, especially sunlight, can encourage algae to grow in your fish tank water. You can restrict the growth of algae by moving your tank away from sunlight or screening the aquarium with blinds or drapes for the part of the day when the sun is shining on the tank. Also, you need to reduce the hours that your aquarium lights are on, perhaps by using a timer.
Once the algae are starved of light, they will eventually die off, and your filter system will remove the green algae from the water, leaving it clear again. Phosphates that are derived from decomposing organic waste matter in the water and from the water source itself are effectively plant fertilizers that encourage algae to grow. To reduce the amount of phosphates in the water, begin by giving the tank a deep clean, including trimming away dead plant matter and vacuuming the substrate to get rid of fish waste and uneaten food.
Environmental Protection Agency is duty-bound to chemically treat the domestic water supply to make it safe for you to use and drink. That process means that the water is chemically treated, often resulting in high phosphate levels. For the biological element of your filter system to work efficiently and remove nitrates from the water, you need to have a good flow rate throughout the tank. Ideally, you want a GPH Gallons Per Hour flow rate of at least four times the total volume of water in your tank, preferably more.
Many hobbyists use bogwood and driftwood as aquarium decorations. However, the tannins that the wood contains can leach into the water, lowering the pH level slightly, and sometimes turning the water the color of cold tea. If you have an activated carbon filter, that will help to remove some of the discoloration, too. Dried leaves also leach tannins that will turn the water a brownish color. Preventing cloudy fish tank water is pretty straightforward. Overfeeding your fish is bad for their health and it will also make the water in your aquarium turn cloudy because of a bacterial bloom or uneaten fish food particles floating in the water.
I recommend that you feed your fish only what they will eat in a couple of minutes. Feed the fish little and often, especially species such as bettas that can suffer from constipation if overfed.
Overstocking your fish tank is asking for trouble on a number of levels. Too many fish crammed together in a small space can cause territorial species to become very aggressive, and a lack of personal space also causes stress, which can also result in health problems and outbreaks of diseases. Overcrowding an aquarium with too many fish will overload the filter system, overwhelming the beneficial bacteria that process waste products, and leading to bacterial bloom and cloudy water.
