Use melafix.
But also check your water to determine what actually caused the cloudy eye |

hi weiloong
firstly, welcome to AF. the following is my perspective only yar ? on your query, you need to understand that having cloudy eyes does not necessarily equate to a 'need to fix it' moment. it could be a 'need to monitor it' for a while matter first. during the monitoring period (say, coupla days): a) if it gets worse - it is to be escalated to a 'need to fix it' action. This could involve medication but please research a bit more before application. Melafix is one option as proposed; b) if it stays pretty much the same - just maintain good water parameters* and let the eye self heal. Dosing some* salt also helps. hope you appreciate that there will be a higher margin of error in the 'medical diagnosis' here as compared to a diagnosis with supporting pictures of your aro. keep us posted anyhow & good luck. cheerz Note* : Search this forum for info on what this means |

if the aro is active again it is a good sign. i would think the cloudy eye situation will slowly resolve - but keep monitoring.
the salt quantum ? i wont go full 3% which is the treatment level for other serious conditions. for 3x2x2, i'd apply a token amount - say about 1/2 coffee mug. this is for 1st time application and not the quantum to use every water change. you work out the maths. anyway if you can post a pic that would help us all here as well. cheerz |

Bro, a clip on your aro would be good.
Increase your wc frequency to every alternate day between 20 to 30%. Reduce feeding. Btw, 322 may not be big enough for the aro when it gets big. |

WC or multi-cure will help.
Meanwhile, what's your bio load in the tank? What about your medias? |
