Okay, so I've had my goldfish tank set up for about 2 months now. I haven't really been able to get my water really clear!! I researched it, and I know I probably have new tank syndrome. Ive had it in my other tanks, so I recognized it. It's a white cloud throughout the whole tank. The pet store suggested I buy new filter media. I didn't think that sounded right, considering my tank has only been set up for a short amount of time. I figured theres not even enough sustainable bacteria in it yet, and if i were to take the only bacteria source, it would be very bad.They also recommended I buy a water clarifier medication drops to add to the water. Now I may be wrong, but I don't like adding TONS AND TONS of random chemicals to their tank!! I do however use 7.0 PH Tetra Fizz tabs, and Ammo Chips. Those have helped me alot. Anyways, I didn't by a new filter carbon cartridge, because I've heard you're only suppose to change it out when it's literally falling apart.
What is my best option as far as getting rid of the cloudy-ness??
Also, is it okay if I have my ammo-chip bag directly in the water, instead of it being in the filter area, because it doesn't fit...?
Picture of the cloudiness, and the
bag of ammo chips.
