    My (planted) tank started becoming became cloudy after I started using a fan (self-connected computer cooling fan) to cool the water...

    Overnight, alot of water dust appeared. Anyone knows a reason why this happened? My internal filter working normally but the dust is remaining there, whole tank cloudy sia.

    I think one may not be related to the other...

    ... unless particles from the fan is falling into the water.

    Search on cloudy water... and you will find some information on it.

    Clar,
    Have u tried turning off the fan n observing again? Its unlikely that the fan has caused the cloudiness. What kind of substrate are you using? What colour is the cloudiness? Any other changes you made recently, maybe feeding too much?

    heheh careful ur mouth get u in trouble again...

    Anyway i've been mullin over it, think its that ur filter might be too small to handle all the bioload. maybe try another filter this time outside tank n bigger? try "sealing" it up so CO2 dont escape? sure u'll think of smtg, handyman u r..
