Hi there everyone. So after careful thought I bought a fluval edge. I installed it on Wednesday , washed everything thoroughly with cold water. I have not added fiah yet. The tank has a quartz rock, and one decorative pot and fake plants. All certified to go into fish tanks. Did everything as per the manual. I have been adding small amounts of the cycle additive provided by fluval as per the manual, and added the de chlorinator. Everything was great then I came down this morning and the tank is majorly cloudy. White in colour.
I guess this is the tank cycling and the bacteria blooming. I did change 10% of the water to see if I could improve the clarity but it hasn't helped so im leaving it now. Should I turn the lights off to stop the bacteria growing? But keep the filter on maximum? Basically I was hoping to get a fish or two tomorrow . But now I'm hesitant!
