My Pics of my tank (although cloudy)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Algae needs nitrates right? So in theory if they do, then your tank is already cycled. What's the filtration, should be clearing up by now. How many times you feed a day.

Hopefully someone can clarify the algae part.
 
i only feed once a day an sometimes every other day an the filtration is a rena xp3 with the bottom tray filled with 2 corse sponges an the next tray filled with ceramic rings an the third tray filled with a phos-zorb packet an i think thats it.
 
cooool

Need a MUCH bigger filter...get a large eheim or fluval fx5
 
for a 90 gallon??? with 5 fish?? dont have the cash for that an it shouldnt be needed
 
Why not jUst get an ac110 to add onto the tank? That should provide adequate filtration when coupled with the filter you alreay have.
As for fiah, i think a huge group of like 15 skunk loaches would look cool in that tank... But you would need a lot more caves and rocks.
 
Have you tested the nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia? If so, what are the readings?

Have you done any water changes on the tank since it was set up? The first thing I did when I had an algae bloom was a giant (90%+) water change. The tank cleared up and it never got cloudy again, but the algae still grows all over the walls and fake plants. My plecos and festivums take care of most of it and I scrub the rest.

My tank is a 150 with an AC110, a Fluval FX5, and an Eheim Pro II 2028.

So my first suggestion is a large water change. Just my opinion.
