If you glancein my gallery that what teh water looks like, seems green and murky. It happened all the sudden. I cant find one of my fish either but I think he's to scared to come out?????

I did a 20% water change this weekend
and I'm running carbon too.

HELPPPP!!!!

no one?
What would cause it to sudden cloud?

cloudy water is caused by one or more of the below:

1. over dosing of kalk
2. bacteria bloom
3. algae bloom

since you mentioned "green and murky" I'm leaning towards an algae bloom.

Any new drastic change in lighting recently?
Are you using RO/DI water?
What are your parameters? Nitrate, phosphate, etc...
