I recon its dead filther bacteria.Believe it or not Ammonia will kill bio med in high doses.
I would say there was a high chloromine/chlorine in the water and it killed your bacteria. Happens every now and then when the council do a spring clean.

It sounds like a bacteria bloom. This has mostly gone like this because of the following things: Your tank is either new, over stocked, or you are over feeding your fish. If your tank is new, it's just normal for it to be cloudy, it will be cloudy before it gets clear "in most cases cycling a tank" If your over feeding your fish, the fish can;t/don't eat all the food you give them and it sits on the bottom of the tank "or in filter" and decays and makes the water cloudy looking if you don;t do a regular tank maitanace to clean it out, i.e. gravle vac and w/c's. if your over stocked you need to do more w/c's more often, because the tank's bio load/filtration can't handly the number of fish. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.planetfish.org |
