Odd Cloudy Water Question/Problem
"Tom Hale" wrote in message m... "Happy'Cam'per" wrote in message ... Netmax, I think you are right, you have to give the new substrate time to get covered in biofilm, this will bind things a bit. The OP must just be patient. -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** I was patient. The water was clear for 2+ months before it got cloudy. It sat cloudy for 9 months. I'm trying the whole no light, no food, no filtration/water movement now to see if that makes a difference. T. Don't go no light/food/filtration too long. Light won't make much difference, unless it was an algae bloom. Food won't make much difference unless it was a food-driven bacterial imbalance. Turning off the filter can starve off your good bacteria making the situation worse (plus an ammonia/nitrite spike). No water movement has possibilities (if you can move your working filter elsewhere for the duration). On a new set-up, the filter being off makes no difference because there is no life in the filter which you are trying to preserve. Unless r.a.f.p. gave you better advice, I'd try a round of flocculants (Clear-Water, Accuwater, P-Clear etc). NetMax |
