I changed the media in my filter about 2 weeks ago but this past week my water has just started to get cloudy for some reason. This has happened before but the cloudiness doesn't usually last for a couple of days or so. It's been almost a week now. I have an xp3 filter and I changed the bio chem zorb and the white pad, one of the 20 ppl and 30 ppl foam sheets. I change my filter media every month or so and this has never happened before. What could be causing this?

If it's a white cloudy you should just leave it be. No water changes of cleaning. It's your tank cycling and that's a bacteria bloom. What media do you change monthly in your XP 3 and how do you have your media set up?
