Cloudy water can be the result of any number of causes. It could be an "algae bloom", floating algae. Or simply the result of feeding, especially in Oscar aquaria. Limit the lighting to your tank; block the sun, turn your lights off earlier, etc., will solve it if it's algae; switching brands of food and/or increasing GPH in your filtration will help if it's "other". --Mark:cool:
