Hey everyone, I have a question. I recently purchased a rubbermaid 44gl trash barrel to age my water. I used straight tap water and placed a heater and a large airstone inside. I let the water age for 48hrs before my W/C. I Also used Discus buffer to lower the PH a little. Yesterday during my W/C I noticed the water in the barrel was kinda cloudy. As the water level dropped in the barrel I noticed some white residue on the sides.
The water in the tank I was filling was a little cloudy so I put in some water clarifier. That seemed to make the tank even worse! All night it was cloudy and even today it's still not clear. My fish seem fine, but I don't know why this happened or what caused it. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong? Thanks Paul
