in the clouds...

[wideangle]

I just added my first fish to a new 5 gallon tank....filter working fine, 'cycle' added to chill out the tap water, fish seem happy and active....awoke this morning to a CLOUDY TANK. Do I need to do some water testing?
Maybe it will clear up on its own soon enough? We're talkin' somewhat cloudy, certainly not as bad as some photos i've seen on the web......
thanks,

Well, I rather suspect you added a tad too much Cycle to the tank. But it will be fine and most likely clear in a few days once it coats the filter media, etc. I hope you only got a "few" fish to start the cycle with. Too many and you will have a ton of trouble with ammonia and nitrites trying to establish.
