Hi guys - my 10 year old son Reed and I are new the hobby and we just recently finished cycling a BioCube 16 for his room. All parameters are in check. We used live sand and rock to start the cycle a while back. We had some hitch hiker snails that seem to be doing good.
So just to try things out I added a coral banded shrimp last night and woke up this morning and the water was cloudy. I did the drip method to mix water. I don't remember bumping anything, but I did have a certain cat who was studying the tank. I guess he could have bumped it at some point but it doesn't seem like it would have made the water go cloudy?
Any advice? Otherwise shrimp looks like he's good.
** One of thing I thought us was that when I was floated the bag to acclimate temp wise it raised the water level and pushed water to a part of the filter that hadn't been used very much and that could have caused?
