Hello guys, so I have a 10 gallon nano aquarium and it has been cloudy for a little over a week now it has gotten worse. My tank was completely fine on Wednesday (11/22) but before going back home for thanksgiving I did a pretty big water change and cleaned up the sand bed. Over the 3 day break my heater died... when I got back on Sunday (11/26) I noticed the tank being slightly cloudy but not too bad. I was more worried about the heater but I wasn't able to get a heater until the following morning. At that time, I noticed the tank being a little cloudy and I honestly thought it was just calcium precipitation due to the temperature change (went from 67 degree fahrenheit to 78 degrees ) so on Wednesday (11/29) I did a 5 gallon water change and it kinda cleared up a bit. After doing some water test all of my parameters are normal so after doing some research it seems to be a bacteria bloom. Today I noticed it being even worse than it was before the water change and I am not sure what to do. I'm currently doing another water testing, will upload the current parameters in a couple of minutes

Here's 3 pictures of before, during, and now.
