My 10g has been up a few weeks, maybe a month. It just got dome cycling last week. I know during the cycle and the first few months there will he lots of algae blooms and what not. I already had a ton of lime green algae everywhere and now it is subsiding. When the green algae started to grow the tank became verrry cloudy. And its still cloudy. This is most likley a bacterial bloom bc its a new tank, but how long does it take to clear up? I think it makes it harder for the light to penetrate the water and it just looks ugly. I wanted to put a skimmer on the tank but its on the counter under my kitchen cabinets so a skimmer won't fit under there. There's just enough room for the tank. Here's a picture of the cloudiness. Don't pay any mind to the zip ties. I had to fix the rock formation. And the cup is for loose rics.
