Default cloudy water !!! ???

cloudy is usually biobugs looking for a home. increase the biomaterial.
decrease feeding, feed higher quality food (like freeze dried krill).
the glass of aquariums collects pretty good colonies of biobugs. cleaning or drying
could kill them off.
is your new water softened? do you have a bit of "salts" in the water, like 1
teaspoon per 5 gallons.

do you have a heater? every time I left my heater off after cleaning my tank the
biobugs showed how unhappy they were with cloudy water. turned the heat on and the
biobugs were gone is like 6 hours. Ingrid

The water became cloudy almost instantly and has remained so for 2
weeks now? At first I though it was algae since the new location has
very good lighting but after treating to remove it did nothing.

I have two fairly large lionhead Orandas living together with two
Africa clawed aquatic frogs. They have been fine together for 3-4
months.

What could be done to clear the water without having to remove the
pets? Thanks!
