I will try to give as much info as possible, but if you need more please let me know.
I have a 125g freshwater tank that has been running for about 1 year.
I recently noted the water to be cloudy. At the time I was running 2x fluval 306 loaded with MarineHD biomedia, a sunsun 404b with 2 l matrix and filter pads, and 2 x sunsun 302 filters with 1l matrix each.
One with chemipure and the other with 250cc purigen.
I noticed the water a cloudy white and assumed it was due to the cheap sunsun filters , so I removed all of them and replaced them with a fx6.
I moved as much media as possible to the fx6, and left the two other fluval in place.
It has made no change in the water clarity.
My parameters are
Ammonia 0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
Ph 6.8-7
Kh 3 drops
Gh 4 drops
I have been changing the water every other day, about 70 percent assuming this was a bacterial bloom.
No change in clarity after 4 or 5 hours
Fish :
silver arowana 18 inches
Oscar 10 inches
Clown knife 17 inches
Chocolate chiclid 6 inches
Red spotted sevrum 5 inches
Pleco common 10 inches
Green texas 6 inches
I have added fritz zyme 7 and fritz monster 360.
I use seachem safe as a water conditioner
Can anyone help me with this. I just have no idea what to do.
I'm pretty sure It is a bacterial issue, but could overstocking cause all this ?
Thanks
