I have tried that got some but not many. The trap sounds like a good idea. Is there a special net anyone can reccommend?

Pond Chat / cloudy water

« on: August 12, 2010, 07:38:40 AM »

Help!
My water has always been crystal clear and two days ago it started to get cloudy
I have bio filter and have cleaned the filters in skimmer

It has been really hot here for a week or so maybe that is problem?
I add water not too much to it but  I have been doing that and never changed anything
I tested the Ph 7.8 ammonia is 0 and nitrate 0
What should I use to clear it up any suggestions?
Thanks Donna
