    White Cloudy Water for AGES (FRESHWATER)

    Thanks everyone, I have tried to let the tank just be as to see if it was a bacteria bloom and it just kept getting milkier and milkier. To the point you couldn't even see the poor fish if he was more than 2" deep into the tank. I don't think its excess nutrients because I don't really fight...

    White Cloudy Water for AGES (FRESHWATER)

The tank in the bedroom doesnt do this but it has a cover and its setup exactly the same. (Its the fluval spec 5g). Thinking it has to be dust from the open top. i dunno... grrr...

    Moving the tank questions.. (55 gallon)

    OK NEW problem. Just went and priced out everything and OMG WAYYY over budget! lol @ The end of it it was gonna be only dollars to upgrade to a 75. While this is VERY appealing I just dont think this is the right time for THAT sort of investment. For the 55 gallon setup I am looking at...

    55 Gal (1 year old) Pictures

    Well, I just got another idea. I might try to move the BakPak skimmer all the way to the right so its not dead center in the tank. Then I could build up the wall a little higher in the middle to give it a more "not aquirium" look? Also I will try to get the Phosban Reactor hoses out of plain...
