Default cloudy water !!! ???


"Navy Diver" wrote to Tynk

I'm planning to do the weekly gravel vacuum on Saturday that replaces
about one third the water. third one since the move.

I may have added too much salt on the initial fill causing the bio-bug
issue. the water is a whiteish cloudy but does not smell rank.
The orandas and frogs seem to be fine and happy.


I think you are on the right track. Let the water get cloudy and just
replace enough to mainain balance and it will clear. If you have very hardy
type fish like goldfish, they will not mind the cloudy water at all and the
tank will clear quicker without too much water change (10-20% water change).
