Cloudy Water

[shirasagi]

I have received my algae and snails from this site and have been cycling my water for three weeks now. The water is starting to look very cloudy and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to reduce the cloudiness without adversely affecting the water. Thanks so much for any help!

Nobody has responded because you have provided very little detail as to what is in your tank, how you prepared it, etc.

When my bowl got cloudy within the first month of cycling, it was due to a bacterial bloom. Smelled funky too.

Cleared up in a week or two, you can try waiting to see if that happens. I wouldn't put the shrimp in until it clears up, though mine survived the process, my first set of snails didn't live more than a week.
