Strange Issue

[g_morin]

I can't win... I either have a nice clear tank or real cloudy. I just recently added some gravel and now my tank is real cloudy? I don't believe its a water issue because ut was fine prior? Any ideas?
Thanks
Glenn

you probably just didn't wash the gravel before. Give it some time to settle

did you wash the gravel before you put it in your tank??

I did rinse it... But I may not have rinsed it enough so to speak...

Yeh you probably didnt.. what sort of gravel did you use??
With the gravel in my tank, i had to wash it for ages before i could get it in there.

I got med. Sized gravel

didn't like bare bottom?

I was ok with it for a while but the wife said it always looked dirty and the tank is in the living room. So sometimes you have to make sure the wife is happy ya know

The gravel may explain this latest incident but if the tank was doing it prior to the gravel you may need to beef up your biological filtration.

What do you mean? Did you mean add more to my filter? Or let the bio bacteria build up
