My tank is Green and cloudy

[HallWyatt1999]

So my tank was doing good then I went to the store and bought a anomone but they couldn’t get him off the rock so I put the new rock in and after that my tank turned really cloudy and green to the point I can’t even see inside anymore, it happened in only 3 days. I’ve done a water change and it just went right back to cloudy. Any advice on this one ?

Wait it out or get a UV sterilizer. It's a bacterial bloom.

Do you have any powerheads in the tank? The anemone could have gotten chopped up if it let its foot go. Also a bacterial bloom is another thing that could have happened.

if not running carbon, add carbon or Chemipure Blue which will polish the tank water.
Is tank at or near a window getting direct or indirect light? This alone will cause the tank to go green even if you have gark shades on window.

It sounds like a phytoplankton bloom. Not harmful but unsightly. Uv sterilizer gets rid of it. Or living sponges.
