Hello,
I know this should be general knowledge for aquarists, but I'm still not sure how to cycle my tank.
I get different opinions everywhere I go!
I have a 10gal tank with one balloon molly 6 of her fry in a breeders floater, and two peppered cories.
The water parameters are normal, but I see the water turning more and more cloudy.
I do not know if I overfeed, 3 flakes to molly, 1 algae wafer for cories to share, and half a cube of freeze dried brine shrimp for fry.
Although I do feed the fry 3x a day and molly 2x a day.
I do daily water changes of 10%, with weekly of 25%. I add StressCoat to freshwater to dechlorinate, and I've been adding 1ml StressZyme daily as I was told to do by a fellow poster.
At first, it seemed this was working because the water was crystal clear, but now the water has clouded again.
I don't know if it's the filter, it seems to be working fine. I changed the cartridge, and vaccumed the gravel two days ago, still no change.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
PS anyone know of a good power filter for my 10gal tank?
