and its cloudy!!? i just got a 29gal fish tank and its been like 2 days and now the water is cloudy looking?? NO FISH ADDED YET so did i do something wrong?? should i clean it or would that mess up the cycling process? ( i plan on cycling for a week?)
also do u like snails? should i get one? i just want one to clean my tank? or would u get a bottom sucker fish thing?
THANKS ( i need answer ASAP! )
 
Cycling a tank for a week will not help you in any way.

You need to Fishless cycle anywhere between 3-6 weeks before adding fish. In one week, there is simply not enough time for beneficial bacteria to grow and colonize to accommodate the fish waste that will be introduced into the tank.

I have to go right now and will finish this, but please check out the links and research Fishless cycling. And no, the tank should be cloudy for a week or so. Make sure to get testing kits for AMmonia, Nitrite and Nitrate and test every 2-3 days.
