cloudiness progression

[gekkecichla]

ive had the cloudiness e few months,and i always thought it was because of my big eel wildly going tru the sand ,but the eel recently died, and the tank wasnt getting clear, but now ive figured it out it was a onecell bacteria, which didnt bother the fish, but bothered me caus the last few days it was getting worse i couldnt even see my own hand, ive treated it yesterday,cleaned out the pumps afterwards and now it is as clear as day

ok so what did you clean to fix the problem because i have a cloudyness issue as well and i cant figure it out at all...

 

[gekkecichla]

there are different types of cloudyness, but mine dissapeared with a dutch homebrand of my local fish dude, so i dont really know. but he told me it is a one cell baceria wich needs to be bonded in order to be able to filter it out, and so it went

Looking good J.!! Glad you got the cloudyness, it's a pain in the a@@, although I have never had it. Do you only use those small internal eheim filters for filteration? On second look I see some green hoses, so you have some more filters, why you have all those internal filters?

 

[gekkecichla]

because they love some movement in the water and three aquaballs give a good flow

might be the sand getting caught in the cartridges n pipes of the filters happened to my buddy in his 40 breeder

jep, thanks man, i think im gonna treat the tank again because this morning it was getting cloudy AGAIN for f*** sake, what is this thing?

 

[bOOsteN aUdI]

what did you add to the tank? if its that red stuff in a bottle all it does is clump up the particles and makes you filter able to filter them out. only thing is if its an algea problem or a bacteria problem its only a temp solution
