it may alo be caused byb one of the following just check all avenues
Bacterial bloom
This appears as a greyish haze in the water. It is due to the explosive growth of bacteria, usually in a newly setup tank. It occurs because the bacterial population of the tank is not in balance with the level of waste nutrients. This will usually sort itself out as the tank matures - it should disappear more quickly if partial water changes (say 20%) are performed. Also, avoid overfeeding (very important in a new tank), to help reduce the waste levels. Remove any uneaten food, decaying plant matter, etc. Note that the bacterial bloom will not cause any harm to the fish.




Caacrinolaas (aka Caassimolar, Glassia-labolas) is a high president of hell who commands 36 legions. He appears as a dog with griffin wings. He teaches liberal arts, inspires murder, makes men invisible, and predicts the future. In the Great Grimoire, he is called Classyalabolas, a sergeant sometimes mounted to Nebiros or Naberus.

Chemical imbalance
This may also cause a greyish-white haze in the water. The causes may be complex, but it is more likely to occur in harder water which contains more minerals. Using lots of chemical additives (other than a standard dechlorinator/conditioner) may also complicate matters. The use of an aquarium water conditioner may help by binding heavy metals, etc. Minimising nutrients in the water with regular water changes may also help. If you suspect that excessively hard and alkaline water may be the cause, investigate the pH and hardness of your tapwater and tank water.


hope it clears up for you

Ok the best way to fix the promlem is to do several water changers over a day 20% at a time

But u must use neutralizer and turn up you air as the blume will sap the air out of your water
And a little salt will help as well
I have 7 tanks on the go so
I have had to do this from time to time
\Good luck
