Greetings from Kentucky, guys and girls.
After 15 years of being fish free, I have set up a new 125 gallon FW tank. I have had nothing but problems, basically because of my own stuipdity and lack of patience. Once my water tested fine, I purchased way too many fish and then began to feed them too often. The Chlorine level spiked, and I began to loose fish, daily. I began water changes (20-50%) after the first week, every 2-3 days.
After loosing most of the new fish and cleaning the gravel every 2 days, my levels are now looking much better, but today, the tank looks like I poured 1/2 gallon of milk in the tank (cloudy).
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Over the past years, I have had numerous tanks (10-75 gallon), but never this much trouble.
I have a Fluval 4X canister filter.
