cloudy planted tank
Kind of odd for it to start cycling again as it was already cycled
before the bloom. I did do a no, no. I cleaned the filter when I did a water change but this was after the initial bloom started so this probably didn't help any. Will do regular water changes every couple days in hopes that this will help clear it up and leave the filter alone. Thought about doing something like a 95% water change, otherwise, suck all the water out down to the gravel and refill but this may be a bit drastic. The fish may suffer a bit but but there all hardy fish anyway and they've been through worse. Will try to get the nitrites to 0, clean the CO2 reactor. Unfortunatley, funds are tight, so a UV sterilizer or a diatom filter are out of the question. tose (LeighMo) wrote in message ... nitrites ~.15 if that This might be the problem. Nitrite should be zero. If nitrite is measurable, your tank is cycling. Cloudy water is to be expected. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
