the 3ft com tank is cloudy, i tested the water and here are the stats
ph 7.0
hrdness 150
nitrates 20
nitrites 0.0
ammonia 0.0

the fish are fine, happy and swimming around eating
it is that good in the tank that the bristle nose fry are still alive and so are the snail fry
plus the bristle noses are still spawning

so i am stumped, the only thing i changed was take out almost all the gravel and i did a 75% WC after i did that,

so any ideas

cheers all

I think disrupting the gravel probably did it. Maybe it caused a mini bacterial bloom. That always happens to me after heavy planting/replanting. It usually clears up by the next day.

I would give it a couple of days. Just keep your eyes on your levels. Usually trying to "fix" it, ends up making it worse. If your tank is established it should recover quickly.
