Carroll Shelby said a man is never so slick he cant be greased. Half the reponses i have to google the abbreviated words, thats hiw little i know about this topic. I really enjoy watching fish and ive grown attached and would hate to see them harmed because i didnt so my due diligence. Thank you.
That is exactly the attitude fishkeepers new/old/small/monster should have! I tip my hat to you sir! AC = AquaClear by the way. If you need something expanded on quote it and someone will explain. Especially with someone who wants to learn.
I appreciate everything this site has taught me. Id like to buy a shirt to support. When i go to the link it sends me to the petition against a crappy energy drink lol. This community makes me want to know more and i thank all of you for your patience.

recommended a book on another thread of mine that i intened to look for at petco or amazon.com ir even pdf format. Im just trying to learn a general knowledge from years of experience. Age and zeal always defeat youth and trechery.
Pretend your talking to an idiot on the matter, lol, that would be me. Bacterial bloom? Mini cycle?
Okay, the biofilters and just about any surface of the tank have bacteria colonies but the filter media has the most of it, if that isn't sufficient or the filter bacteria takes a knock for whatever reason then free floating bacteria can start growing to eat the extra nitrite or ammonia which gives the cloudy look. Generally isn't harmful but is an indicator that something isn't completely right.
Thank you.Until tomorrow when petco makes its opening here idk about Seachem, walmart does not have it. I will add it to my petco list. So i gather w/o a test kit its much like a car not starting, it could be anything, or a combination of things.Okay, the biofilters and just about any surface of the tank have bacteria colonies but the filter media has the most of it, if that isn't sufficient or the filter bacteria takes a knock for whatever reason then free floating bacteria can start growing to eat the extra nitrite or ammonia which gives the cloudy look.

It could be your substrate too, if it's got excessive detritus and it's stirred up then it could cloud too.
Do you have products like "Seachem stability" available? This will help seed biofilters in the tanks bacteria especially if you get a new filter.
Frequent water changes will help a bit as well
