Fish Crazy
I posted here before about cloudy water. It still is. And now the water in my 75 stinks too....what to do? I've had this tank up and going for a year and a half, and never had this problem.....(except 'new tank syndrome' cloudiness back when I set it up.) Someone mentioned algae or bacteria bloom. I don't quite know what this means, or what I need to do about it. (Sorry!) The fish seem healthy and happy, I have been doing weekly water changes since this started (only two weeks ago)....I just did a 35% w/c on Sunday. Only thing I add to the water is Stress Coat. I'm not feeding any more or less than I normally do, and I vaccuum the gravel with my Python with each water change (not 100%, just spot cleaning mostly....about 50%).
I tested my water, and it is and has been the very same as it was when I filled the tank the first time, and after cycling was completed. The water is always the same as I'm sharing below. The water stays a steady 78 degrees. I run two filters on the back (Topfin filters....two for 40g tanks). I changed one filter's filters a week ago Sunday, and the other filter just this past Sunday....thinking maybe dirty filters is it...although I change each one about every 4 weeks.
Am I doing something wrong? There are no dead fish in the tank, there are only 6 in there....and they are all easy to keep track of.
Here's my parameters, and I really appreciate any input. I do get some brown algae from time to time, and have some green stuff in there too.....not tons, but some.
Please share any wisdom!
