Most likely Bloom, expected during cycling
+1 for bacteria bloom (good thing)

So I cam home today and the tank is a *little* less cloudy than last night. So far it's been about 30 hours of cloudiness...
This is really bugging me as the tank is in my living room and that fog is really annoying! I had the lights off all day today as I thought maybe it would help (it didn't) I have them on now and will leave them on for 3 hours just for the plants!
I also tore apart the biorb and used everything I possible could to seed the cycle... The poor fish are now with only a few pieces of gravel and one old piece of filter media. Would it be safe to transfer them from the die-orb to the Juwel, since most of the BB from there are in it anyways!
This is really bugging me...
Thanks
I'd move the filter over and the fish.
HELP ME ASAP!
So the fish are in and acclimatized well into the Juwel. They must LOVE all the space they have now. One problem: THE FILTER IVES A WAY TOO STRONG FLOW AND THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO SWIM!!
How do I slow down this Juwel Trigon 190 filter!
HELP! Please!
Gbr pair should be smaller mouthed and bodied than the smallest tetra you have, make sure your cories are in a large group and on the bigger side (I agree panda cories are so absolutely adorable) so you won't have to extract barbs from the gbrs throat or mouth... IMO I wouldn't get a dwarf gourami I would go for a gold or blue gourami or a paradise gourami to mellow the rams out, but that's just me
Some of my favorite small bodied tetra are pristilla, golden xray, blushing xray... You also have the option to go for a school of cherry barb or other small barb (odessa, tbar and honeycomb are good, plus they are a little more likely to stand up to being picked on then tetras, who, in my personal experience, will allow tetra to giant school with them...
Hey guys, just an update of the tank
The Glowies are doing great, I fed them a treat last night of some bloodworms and they gulped that down instantly. It was very cute.
My new problem is the plants . I've made the decision to set up a DIY CO2 system as soon as I can get some yeast and bottles. Is this effective? How many bottles would I need? (those 2L Coke bottles). What recipe should I use? Is an air stone fine to release the CO2 in the tank?
Thanks I'm really confused with this CO2 stuff and I can't afford to buy a machine as I'm out of pocket spending $1300 on the tank!
