Need advise on milky water issue

[AveMaria]

hi bros

i am using ada soil for over a week 2 days ago develop milky waters due to overfeeding for some of my blue shrimps..

what i did..

a 100% wc

washing up all soils to make sure there is no trap food substance

washing all aquatic plants with de-chlorinated water

re-setup tank.

right now after 6 hour the milky effect is coming back.. its like diluted soyabean milk.. can any expert in this area explain to me what is actually happening? -_- and any good solution for me to fixed this issue??

Thanks in advance for the advises =)

i am running under-gravel filtration(trying to cultivate BB in the soil)
CO2 yes
T5 lighting

Is it milky as in cloudy looking?

If so, then probably it is a bacteria boom, which will disappear on its own after a while.

The filter needs time to mature and cycle so keep changing 100% of the water will not fix the issue.

Sometimes let the filter run for a while, it will probably clear up after a couple of days. If you really want to do a water change, do at most at 50%, else you will affect the system more.

Anyway dont re-wash ur ADA gravel mate

Yup, 100% wc would kill yr existing bb.... this the current bb boom.
