RE: cloudy water

["F. Tadeo" <el_boy@hotmail.com>]

i didn't start initiating daily water changes until two weeks ago, when i 
got desperate.  the water is siphon off is green/brown, and smells fishy.  
this makes me think that algae/bacteria is present in the water in unusually 
large amounts.  the filter that runs the tank is well established already.  
:(
