    Was quite surprised to see my tank water getting more cloudy. It was crystal clear all the while until 2 or 3 days back the water seems cloudy. At the same time there was alot more spotted algae on the tank glass and plants.

    Is the cloudiness due to the algae particles in the water? If the condition worsens will i get green water? Please enlighten me

    Here's a pic:

    Could you find out if the cloud is white or green. Place some tank water into a white cup and if it's green then it should be green water. I believe there a topic on this recently on this issue. Check this thread

    If it is green water, can either loan/buy a UV filter, or you can keep changing 50% water for a week and it will be gone.
