Aquarium Advice Newbie
Ok, so I got a new 30-gal awhile back. Five days ago I introduced a small Koi (about 7") and a small Pl*co (about 2"). The Ammonia levels are still extremely high (although the fish don't seem to be too sick or anything). I tried water changes and adding stuff to help the nitrifying process but the levels just continue to be really high. Now, I noticed the Koi really kicks stuff up, and there's a lot of particulate matter floating around...so today I checked the filter bag (I have a TetraTec 30) and it was just thick with brown grossness, so I washed it and put it back.
What should I do? I imagine that the filter being clogged impeded the cycling, so should I get a bigger filter or what?
Thanks!
