Cloudy Tank/ High Ammonia

Question
Well I have a 65 gl tank with about 18 tetras in it and the water the other day went cloudy and now I'm having issue with trying to get it to clear; I have lost several fish and I cant seem to g4et the Ammonia level down; I was feeding a lot I believe and I have take out about 5 gl of water; should I take out more? Is there anything I can do to bring the Ammonia level down befoe I loose more fish?

Answer
Hello,

I recommend syphoning your gravel, cleaning your filter media and continuing with regular water changes. This will not only clear up your aquarium, but it should help reduce ammonia as well. You may also want to buy a product called Cycle, which helps the nitrogen cycle complete iteself, therefore reducing ammonia.

I hope this helps.
