Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I'm new to aquariums and raising fish and stuff, so I'm getting started on a 10gal for my betta. Everything but the tank and hood is brand new, and I rinsed everything off and filled the tank with water and got it all set up nice and pretty. Three days later I have this foam forming on the top layer, I thought since it was an old tank maybe there was soap residue in the tank. So I drain the entire tank, new sand, new filter cartridge, everything left was rinsed in scalding hot water, soaked and scrubbed with a new soft-bristled tooth brush in vinegar, and rinsed again in scalding hot water. Filled up the tank again, and I'm on the second day of the cycle and I see the foam starting to foam again. I did a bit more research and found out that it may be the water conditioner. Does anybody have this problem with Tetra BettaStart?
