Aquarium Advice Apprentice
ok so my 55 gallon is up and running since about 8ich last night, it's now 11am and it's still very cloudy I did put some stability chemical stuff as told by specialist at a store called fin that's all they have is freshwater fish nothing else in the store.
This is what I did
Came home soaked my new sand in cold and warm water for about 1 hour swooching it around often and letting the water just go through it. I then put the sand in the tank and added the previous tank water to it This is not new water it's old from the tank and some from my 30 gallon. I also kept some of the aquarium rocks that they had to keep some bacteria. I've noticed that the tank is clearer then last night but not much....the filter is on good and it is sucking up as I find dirt in the little cracks.
