Cloudy fish tank

Carbon filtration will clear up the cloudiness quicker...

While it is cycling you need a fish in there to help....the cloudiness will not hurt the fish...do small frequent water changes....then as it settles add the other fish

It will just be a case of giving your filter medium and water time to mature and balance...i really doubt it will be any of your ornaments as it was clear prior to you putting your fish back in

Personally, when i pull my tank down (4ft) completely....my fish go back in as soon as it is filled and declorinator is put in....it is cloudy for 24 hours...then is crystal clear after that....mind you i do run 2 filters....1 carbon and one powerhead...i never cycle my tanks empty

What is the size of the tank.

Goldfish and koi need huge tanks and lots of filtration.

Koi get massive...they are definately pond fish, and a large pond at that, not really tank fish

I have a 46 gallon tank.

The koi are onlky about 4 inches at the moment. It'll take a while for them to outgorw this tank. Its pretty big. but when they are big enough they will be put outside.
