Why has my tank clouded over night2007-11-24 23:43:18

I have a 29 gallon tank in my office. It is not over populated and regular water changes or done. It has been up and running for a about year with no issues and very little loss of fish. What would cause the water to go from crystal clear to green and clouded over night? There is also a definite odor coming from the tank.

Answers:

Cloudy water in an established tank is almost always from a bacterial bloom. The smell also indicates this. Did a fish die in the tank? Maybe somewhere behind a rock or underneath something where it cannot be seen easily? This is my first thought. Find the dead fish, get it out, and do a water change. Or did someone overfeed the fish? Are you sure no one, a child, or perhaps a cleaning staff person did not get hold of the food and try to be "helpful" and feed the fish too much? Excess food/decaying livestock could provide nutrients for a algae bloom, too.

You need to clean out your tank about once a month or so..it's getting cloudy b/c of all the fish poop and all the other gunk like moss and stuff is building up.so just clean it out and see if that helps
