Unclear tanks are sometimes a sign that its not cycled properly. What you may be seeing is a bacterial bloom. What size of tank is it, what filtration is on it, how much and how often do you change water and service the filters?
its a 10 gallon, filtration is an AC30 and a triangle sponge filter, 50% water change weekly. been set up for about 6 months, water params are 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrites, 5ppm nitrates, stocking is in signature.
OK if its planted it may be that you are changing too much water. Have you tried doing a bit less?
I agree,50% once a week on a ten gallon will wreak havoc on clarity.As the larger your body of water is,the more stable it will be.DasArab;1229461; said:
i dont do much to the filter. just check for clogs and build up. if needed, i swish the media around in some of the excess tank water. but it doesnt usually need that.
