I had been having a problem for a couple of months with a white cloud that
just would not go away on it's own. There have been no fish deaths, I have reduced the feeding and monitored just about everything I could test for with my water. I have been doing 30% water changes every 2 weeks. BTW, this is an established system. Here are the water readings: PH 8.0 Ammonia ppm 0.0 Nitrite(NO2) ppm 0.0 Nitrate(NO3) ppm 0.0 Total Alkalinity(KH) ppm 120 Total Hardness(GH) ppm 150 Specific gravity 1.004 This is a 30 gal setup with the following occupants: 2 - Rainbow sharks 2 - Tiger Oscars (2.5'' Long) 2 - Kissing Gourami 2 - Convict Chiclids 3 - Chinese Algae Eaters I have a Whisper 60 (turned down) and good aeration with a bubble wall for the kids to play too :-) I guess the questions are, why has this bacteria bloom taken so long to go away and since I have such hard water, is that and my ph going to be an issue for these guys for the long term. Thanks :-) -James |
