Hi, i am new here and i am hoping to getsome good advice. I have had a tank for a year now. It was a 10 gal and it was established and running well. It had a pleco , 2 neon tetras, 2 golden barbs. I decided to upgrade and get a bigger tank. After talking to lfs i bought a 36 gal aqueon bow front kit with the filter and thermostat and was told that i could just transfer the established tank and add water and water conditioner to my new tank and be good to go, however it has been a nightmare. All seemed well at first and they said i could add fish so i started with 3 mickey mouse platies and 2 corey cat fish. Then my neon tetras and my golden barbs died. Then the coreys died. They said my water was ok amonia was a little high just keep up with water changes everything should be fine. Through all this i was told my water was going through the normal nitrogen cycle and it was fine. My fish started to look like they had white fuzzy stuff on them and almost all of them died except 2. Finally was told my water was perfect and cycle was complete so i bought 3angels making the tank total a tetra 3 angels a pleco and a corey catfish and evrything was fine for a week and then my water turned green. The tank is not near a window , i dont know why this is happening . The angels and the tetra died and i am devastated. Could this be a faulty filter from the start? Please help , i dont want to keep losing fish. Thanks
