cloudy water new tank no fish... - Aquarium Advice

trrogers · 08-27-2006, 12:33 PM

I have just set-up a new tank (cycling) and just added new plants and used flourish tablets til my potting medium comes in and the water is cloudy. Could they have gone sexual?? I know that some Macros in saltwater can and wanted to know if these are doing the same thing. I bought some wisteria and white ribbon plant (draceaena) from Petsmart in the little containers...being impatient...now I found some on ebay that have beautiful reds/ oranges...oh well maybe later! Thanks in advance!

No you dont have to worry about things like plants going sexual. The cloudiness is either the substrate being stirred up by the planting, or more likely a bacterial bloom. Quite normal for new tanks and actually a good thing as you want those little guys around for your cycle.
