Default cloudy water

walmart fairfield brand, no antimicrobials or fire retardants.
not the intake. and dont stuff tightly, it will slow the water flow. Ingrid

What type of polyester batting do you suggest? That might help me identify

cloudy water...

Because there's no room in my filter, I was thinking about stuffing the
intake 'pipe' with some batting... Would this work?

Thanks

Default cloudy water

I've had the polyester batting in for about a week without any
improvement... I placed the batting where the carbon filter normally sits
(in the horizontal filter area). It is somewhat brown on top (probably from
PureGold food 'crumbs')... Should I wait longer, or look into another
solution?

Thanks

It takes 3-4 weeks for media to become colonized with bacteria.

Hi

I have just purchased the following

The main aquarium fish shops all swear by it and my tank has cleared

within
2 days.

regards

Mike

Sorry - not PureGold, but Pro-Gold... This food is great, but causes a lot
of crumbs...

So, I should wait a couple of weeks for the water to clear up (i.e. the
colonies will clear up the water once they are established)?
