Hello guys.. I'm looking for some advice as my water is cloudy ! I'll start with my setup ..
I have a 60 gallon Tank
One 60-80 Gal Filter
One 75 Gal Filter
Temp - steady 26 Celsius
pH 7.0
Akilinity about 60
Recently my nitrates spiked off the charts.. well past 200 and 10.
I introduced a medium large sized plant.. did a small sugar dose and added a small dose of ammonia reducer.
My water was fine 24 hours after that.. nitrates 40-60 & around 5.5-6.5.
Nitrates are now holding steady around 40 & 4.0 but when I came back from work I couldn't even see my fish.. it looked literally like 60 gallons of 2% farmers. I did a 50% water change and 15-20% daily change due to nitrates. 4 days later and my water is still very cloudy but I can see my fish at least lol...
Any advice would be appreciated..
I have two pleco two black Moor goldfish 2-3"and 20 minnows 2"
They are all quite happy fish but the water... ugh.. I'm thinking a crazy algae bloom..
Thanks guys/gals
