cloudy water- need help fast

[ste6168]

Alright, I woke up this morning and my tank is very cloudy, does anyone know why this could be? I just added two percs yesterday and have about 25 snails, 85lbs rock (half live, half base), also was working on a closed loop yesterday if this could have anything to do with it??? Please help...

Does the cloudiness look like a sand storm? Has there been a "rock slide"? What else is in the tank?

 

[ste6168]

there is nothing else in the tank except what i mentioned

if you were working on the plumbing thats probablly where the problem came from. you probablly knocked some of the algae that lines the plumbing loose, and know it in the water coloum. or if you redirected flow anywhere, it may have just stirred up the sand some. i wouldnt worry about it to much it should clear in a day or so. if it goes much longer then worry.

alright, well ill keep everyone posted within the next day to find out if anything is wrong

no sand storm? The percs doing fine? If they ok should not be any water perameter problems. BUt that would be next to check.
