Hey, my first post here so id like to say hello first of all!
I currently have a small 30L tank setup which has been fine for the past few months without any problems - so i do know the basics but not everything.
Ive just setup up a Roma 90L, which im looking at planting a little. Set it all up and installed substrate, filter and heater last nite, However the water still appears reasonably cloudy and i have a lot of air bubbles covering most sufaces/items in the tank. The water is definetly alot clearer than when i first filled the tank and i made sure to wash the substate completely before installing it. I have NOT added anything like Nutrafin Aqua Plus or Nutrafin Cycle yet, so i suppose my main question is
Is this cloudyness and bubbles normal ? i remember it happening on my small tank i think, but im sure it cleared up reasonably quicker, so i maybe just being a bit too carfull and worrying because the new tank is alot larger?
The cloudyness is kinda dull clear milky colour and the bubbles havent reappered too much on the front of the tank where i used a algea magnet too remove them.
