hello. i am very new here and didn't introduce myself due to my problem with our tank. my apologies.
well, we are very new at the whole aquarium thing. my main hobby is building cars.
we have a ten gallon octagon tank. the filter is a elite hush 10 power filter. so we set up the tank and added the dechlorinator and waited a few days and then added 4 goldfish for my son. everything was fine so we added around six more fish. everything has been good, the tank has been running for around a month and now our tank is clouding up. it's whitish and not greenish so i'm assuming from my readings it's not algae. so i did a 30% water change and that worked. well 2 days later....it's clouding up again? i have cleaned the charcoal filter regularly and when the red indicator pops up and have actually went through 3 of them in a month already. what am i doing so wrong? am i over feeding? we feed 2 times a day and maybe too much i assume.
the million dollar question is why is my tank clouding up? see we got the 10 gallon to learn from and now i am discouraged to get a bigger tank.
any and all help would be much appreciated. thankyou.
