Aquarium Advice Activist
Hi all, Decided to join this forum to learn learn learn... I love aquraiums and I have had them all my life but the truth is (I know nothing about them apperently). I started seaking the internet to find help for a new tank setup problem that I am having and I think i know why I had the problem lol. Apperently there is a crucial Cycle your tank has to go through when setting it up. Well, I just inherited a 20gal tank and all the hardware was nasty so I pitched it all and bought new. So I through the fish in my 10gal, hurry up and setup the 20 gal, let it sit a day and then dumped in the fish. I guess this is why its all cloudy. Correct me if I am wrong but I guess there hasnt been enough time for the good bacteria to grow and now the waste is not getting dealt with correctly?? Uggh - I am soooo new lol. Anyways here is a pic of my poor poor tank thats dieing for help!!!
