Well, I posted here last week about the problem with my fish tank.... I'll upload pictures later, but basically... I changed my gravel to black and within a week there was white mold growing on the gravel, along wit the water being a cloudy/grey.
After 5 big water changes there was no difference, water levels were where they should be and the water still stank like a million rotten eggs, I woke to the whole house smelling of this rancid smell... Not pleasant let me tell you, so there was only one thing for it.....I tore down the tank
So, whilst cleaning the gravel earlier today, I noticed the water was BLACK, I've used bleach and let it stand and literally spent hours rinsing it, but it still comes out black. It seems to be unusable. Has anyone else had this problem with the Pettex Roman Gravel before?
I used this in both my tanks and had the same exact problem
What a nightmare!!
I've cycled a few tanks before, but I was just wondering out of fishless and fish in cycling, which is the quickest?
The method I use is a raw prawn, or piece of fish,etc, along with fish food but as I currently have all my fish in a 5 gallon bucket, I need this cycle to be as quick and painless as possible. I can't even use filter media from my other tank, as there is mold in that tank too
