Hi Everyone,
I'm quite to new to this whole aquarium hobby, but I enjoy it greatly. I have a 6 gallon tank where I'm trying to raise some Endler's someone gave me, a 75 gallon community tank, and a 37 gallon tall tank where I am keeping 6 angelfish and 2 algae eaters. The 6 and 75 gallon tanks are doing great, but I'm having (for about 2 weeks now), a problem with very cloudy whitish water in my angelfish tank. I had a penguin biowheel 70 in there, and last week added another in case I wasn't filtering the water enough. I keep doing 10 gallon water changes, using prime in the new water. My water testing, ammonia is zero, and ph is 6.8. I also brought water samples into the fish store twice and they tested more things, and told me my water is fine. I tried seachem clarify as they recommended, but that only seemed to make things worse. The tank has been going since Dec. 4, I did have an ick issue that may have messed things up about 3 weeks ago, but so far all the fish seem fine. The water, however is, UGLY, and it had been a beautiful clear color even when it was cycling. Am I making things worse by constantly changing water? Should I just leave things alone? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This tank used to look so beautiful. Thanks in advance,
Margaret
