Aquarium Advice Regular
hello forgive me if someone already asked this question but i browsed through the forums and i quite didnt found the answers i was looking for.
i already had 2 aquariums before and i never had any problems with cycling them then i bought a new one. in the beginning, it was only synthetic designs - plastic flowers and background and gravel - it didnt got cloudy. the next day - i bought driftwood and anubias and anchored the plants into the driftwood. normally - the tannin would just come out from the driftwood (always doing this withouth washing the wood and it works for me) so im confident about the situation, i added also astra for bacteria bloom (baktalysator)- which i had never done before.
the next day - it got cloudy (normal for me) but the water is soapy and sudsy and bubbles like from the bubble soap keeps floating on the top and i was suprised that the driftwood didnt released tannin that makes the water brown.
on the 4th day - the water was so cloudy that i could hardly see anything from it then i did water change about a fourth of the aquarium (240 liters).
im going to add the discus fish in my old aquarium to this one.
could you please explain to me whats happening? i know water cycle and i had been doing it the past 2 aquariums and i never had any problems. i never experienced something like this before or if you know links that had my same problems please post it in here. thank you!
