Are you adding warm tap water? Try adding cold water when you do water change..... but i wouldnt do anymore water changes for awhile... Just let things settle for a bit. Probably just tiny air bubbles in the water.

what substrate you using?

Did you rinse the rocks off good before putting them in? With warm or hot water? If not, might want to do that soon.

bacterial bloom - the cause.
get yourself a bottle of PRIME - help cope with cycling tank.
large water changes are not needed, especially at that percentage.

do not, i repeat: do not cleanse, rinse nor clean the filter nor its filter media.

ya, gotta wait for a tank to cycle before fish!

since you have already set your fish tank up, only one way to go...just help the fishes cope with the cycling as best you know how.
it would probably take atleast 2 months to finish. if you know some one with a established tank, ask to borrow some filter bio media and or decoravtive rocks/items; to help speed up and get some good bacteria.

bagel10 - (for 20-30g tanks and bran new like 1 week).

brand new filter(i presume also filter media=cycling process, all over again.

thats right... your the one with the lathargic betta awhile back right??? did you loose some fish??? Anyway, I honestly think your tank just needs to age a little..... playing with stuff, doing water changes, just gonna slow the process..... do like 20% water change once a week, cold water... will drop temp a few degrees for a bit, but nothing big enough to harm your fish.

if its still super cloudy in about a week of doing nothing to it..... then they have some stuff that will clear water at the pet shops.... can give that a try.

im highly against adding any chemicals when not necesary. i feel that this could just be an algea bloom and go aqay soon enough. if it doesnt go away i would add a UV steralizer. adding chemicals to water will just make the fish more stressed and you will likely lose most of them

Don't panic!:affraid: Just keep up with your weekly water changes, and vacuum your gravel effectively. Also if this isn’t a planted tank, try running your lights as minimal as possible. You can starve out an algae bloom by getting rid of all the extra nutrients in the water, and cutting way down on your lights. Whatever you do, do not use chemicals.

 

[sandnuka]

If used correctly, chemicals will not kill your fish..... they will kill snails, and inverts.... but your fish will be fine.... Like majority of people said though, just keep on keeping on.... dont go and change a bunch of stuff now, just let it do its thing.... you have enough good bacteria in your gravel, rocks, decor, etc that you wont loose anyfish by changing your filter... its not a new tank anymore.

I like the idea of turning off the lights as much as possible though... or keeping it away from any windows. that will kill any alge, but I am still thinkin' its micro air bubbles still....
