I have been suffering on and off now for several months with a very cloudy tank. There is only 1 oscar in the 30 gal tank, and gets regular water changes. The cloudiness seems to worsen when I put in a clearing agent specifically for cloudiness. I have used almost every kind of clearing agent to no avail, and have been to oodles of petshops looking for a solution. Is there anyone out there that can relate, or has some knowledge in this matter? I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks.

it depends on the size of your fish and how many you have. if you have a single pump it may not circulate enough water if your fish is any bigger than 4-5 inches you need a bigger tank. i would suggest you get about a 55-75 gallon tank with 2 double head filters that will solve the prob. i had a 12 inch oscar in a 55 and had to move up because the same prob when i did it stop so try that.

Go and buy yourself a bio-wheel filter that puts out 330 gallons per hour or more. Fill the baskets with aquarium charcoal and that hang on unit will polish the water good enough to drink!
