Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I recently cycled 100 gal fw tank with crushed coral and lace rock. I have a wet dry with a rio 2500 attached to a SCWD. I cycled the tank for 2 weeks w/o fish. Initially, the water was cloudy. After the 2 weeks the water looked clear. I introduced 2 electric yellows and 2 redtop zebras. It's been 1 week and the water has gotten cloudy again. I feed them twice a day (about a pinch of tetra cichlid flakes and 1/2 cube of freeze dried brine shrimp). Am I overfeeding? I tested ammonia level at about .5 to 1 PPM. The nitrite level tested at about 1 to 2 PPM. I believe my levels are high. What should I do to immediately decrease the levels? What suggestions for preventative care of toxic spikes? Thanks.
