Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi all,
I've been away for 10 days in a business/pleasure trip and I left my daughter was in charge to feed the fish. She did a great job and all of them look good. When i left I was having problems with cloudy water, I tried everything you guys suggested but the water was still cloudy. I decided that a few days without a WC was not going to hurt my ultraclean aquarium so I told daughter not to do WC.
She didn't. The water was totally green, to the point I could hardly see the fish. I see them now that I did a 25% WC, but is still green.
I feel quite frustrated for not being able to keep the water clear. Any suggestions?
Also my gourami looks dirty now. I remember a post from "newhobbist" a few weeks ago with the same problem, could this colour change be related to the algae in the water?
Thank you all.
