    14l Nano... are daily water changes necessary?

    Hi, Planted a 14l nano yesterday and all was well, but today the water is cloudy... I've seen on other posts that some people carry out a daily waterchange on their nanos. Is this what I need to do or is it best to leave it alone.... Cheers, Jack
