In my 35 gal tank with the babies the water is so awful! I mean it guys, it is
very cloudy!
I have 8 babies in there. Almost 50% wc daily. In the filter that hangs on the back, Top Fin 60, with a filter compartment on each side. In that I have sponges, bags of media, and the other day I put some carbon in~and yes I know that carbon is taboo with some....but dayumit! lol!
Too Much? Not enough? Wrong shyt? What am I doing wrong? I want it clear....We have had these babies for almost 6 weeks, I think...The water has
never been clear...but
this is ridiculous! Esp when you look at the 55gal and 10 right next to it~
I do feed like 5-7x a day, but there is never any left over. I do have a sponge on the intake. I use tap water. In all my tanks..No i can not age it or use RO..
A bacterial bloom for 6 weeks?? Possible? And yes the filter is cleaned on regular basis, recently in fact~I do not have my Hydro Sponge in there yet, it should be here any day, hopefully~
Months ago, I had this
same problem with this
same tank and someone suggested the HOT Magnum.... I bought and it made the water crystal clear....All other tanks are crystal clear!
However, I can not do that every time my water starts trippin! Anyone?
Please tell me what you would do at this point~
What, if anything, am I missing??
