Ok . . . . I have a new 50 lt tank, it's been running for nearly 4 week's now. At the end of the first week I used some Easy Balance from Tetra to help sort out my new tanks PH level.
The next day the water changed to this,
At the end of the second week I went to Maidenhead Aquatics near Truro to ask what was going on and for them to test my tank water. They said that the test water was coming on but to leave it for another week, do a 30% water change and to use Clear Fast from Nutrafin to help clear my tank. 3ml every 24 hours.
No joy !
At the end of the third week the water was still cloudy but the Clear Fast had started to clumpy the cloudy water and the filter was doing it's best to clear the clumps, and when I mean it's best, I mean some of the clumps where making there way back into the tank. So this Sunday just gone, I went back up to Maidenhead Aquatics and spoke to someone else and they said to change my filter media to some Synthetic filter floss and that should stop the clumps from getting out again, and change it every other day.
What I need is some help to sort this out, I'm sure 4 weeks of this is to long. Never happened in my first tank, and yes, this is only my second tank so I'm still new.
