Heres my situation, im new to the aquarium thing and was hunting around for a reasonable sized tank, and then my friend gave me a rather large tank...
Its around 540 litres (143 gallons), i had it cycling for about a month with a large canister filter, i did all the right steps in helping the tank along.
come 4 weeks, at this time the water was not quite clear, it had a yellowy green tinge to the water, i caried out 4 water changes and it did clear up but still has the yellowy green tinge , just not as bad.it planted out with around 15 plants and curently has 8 fish in it, two tube flourescent lighting, air pump and a 300watt heater.
I was wondering if there is anything wrong with the tank, and how to get the water to a crystal clear finish?
please help, im tired of looking at a nearly there fish tank.
