help!!!! why is my tank so cloudy?

[eXcite95]

Just like my title says, I need help figuring out why my tank is so cloudy. I have a bc8 running chemipure elite , seachem purigen and filter pads in my media rack. Tank is 3weeks old and wonder why it's cloudy. I did a 1gallon water change yesterday and put in a brand new chemipure elite.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Sounds like Bacteria bloom, nothing major will go away on its own in a day or two

Yep you will go through a stage or two of them, Brown, green, on Cyno, I got tired of it and cleaning the glass3-4 times a day and used a woman's nylon sock filled with charcoal to finally end the cycles.

Tank went through the nasty brown algae stage, clean up crew cleared up most of it. Tank is still cloudy today but hopefully not to much longer.
