Well, All thanks for your help, I am left with only two questions. My tank temp in my opionion was high, around 74, what do you think it should be around. Also what is your opionion of a diatom filter??? It sounds like an easy out (probably not a solution, but sounds cool). As always...

I do appreciate you honesty, thats what it takes. Good news is the tank looks clearer since i changed the water yesterday and today. I cooled down the tank a few degrees, it was at 74 it feels much cooler now. My lfs sold me some bizarre rock in a bag, its white in color, suppose to help...

I kinda lack on that, I change it when it looks like it needs it, then i vacum the gravel about twice on the same water change (I.E. I go over everything twice). Does anyone think a ammonia filter/pad thing would help??? Any luck with one???

One more dumb thing, would this work, "http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441781364&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302030141&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023693&bmUID=1143562474081&itemNo=1&Ntt=ammonia&In=All&previousText=ammonia&N=2 an ammonia asorbing...

I know in the non-aquatic world their are little insects that eat that kind of waste, is there are kinds of things like that for the aquatic world (fish tank friendly)? I have thought about putting a crawfish in their for looks, would that help since they are bottom scavengers? Also, I have...

I'm sorry, but everytime i change the water, it makes the tank even cloudier for the next few days. So by changing the water (daily or bi-weekly), wouldn't that hurt my issue of an unclear tank. Granted the fish may like it.

Thanks for all you helpful input. But, if I do daily or weekly water changes, wont it dirty all the time (like after a usual water change) Thanks again, Dan

I Know this sounds stupid, but is LFS local fish shop??? If so, i only have a pet smart, do they do that??

could high levels of ammonia be causing this?? I have not tested that as I don't have a kit Thanks again, Dan

This tank has been setup for about 10 years with tropicals (never completly drained, only to about 25%). I have had all these fish in the tank since november 2005. The tank was always pretty clear (not as clear as with tropicals) till last month when things turned really sour. Almost lost the...

Hi, Im new here, but I have a few problems. I have a tank with a LEGAL amount of fish, I have 5 blue gill and 6 goldfish in the same tank. It's a 75 gallon tank. I have 2 wisper 60gl filters and a wisper 20gl filter. I have aeration, fake plants and wood. My tank has been cloudy for a...
