cloudy planted tank
Make sure your CO2 injection is working properly. I had a very similar
experience with my 70 gal 240 watt tank. Water crystal clear, plants pearling all the time... and then over a 2 day period BAM! cloudy. Water changes had no effect. I couln't see through to the back of the tank-it was so cloudy. So.... I checked everything and my CO2 reactor was malfunctioning. Cleared the problem and two days later the water began to clear. In 5 days the tank was crystal clear again... worth a try! Djay "Bugbear" wrote in message m... Need some feedback on possible causes and solutions to my 75g tank. The tank is already established. Before this the tank had really clear water. Filter is clean as well or as clean as I guess a canister filter can get. Anyway, the tank is heavily planted with compressed CO2, and 7cc of TMG dosed daily and ~210w of cf. Anyway, just the past week the water has had this milky color to it. The plants are still doing great with no adverse affects that I can tell and the regular 50% weekly water changes is only clearing it up temporarily. About 24-26 hrs after the water change, its back to being milky. No adverse affects on the fish that is noticeable. Anyone have any ideas of the cause and a really low cost solution. thanks |
