    Hi! Did you cleanse the substrate before putting it into the tank?

    No but that's wasn't the main cause of the cloudiness. Usually disappear after a day or two and i used a diy polisher.

    The tank went through a mini cycle after the filter crash because i disturb the bacteria that was in the old substrate.

    Since than i got a canister and use seachem stability and prime to get tank back in order
