Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi all, I replaced my 29g with a 40b, and decided to go with Miracle Grow Organic potting mix with an eco complete cap. I didn't realize the magnitude of the mess I'd be dealing with. It's been 3 days and although the water has cleared some, it's still really cloudy. My main concern now is the immediate effect that the decomposing organic materials will have on my water parameters. I'm running 2 AC 70's until I can get a good canister, and I'm cleaning the pads several times a day. I did a 30% pwc yesterday, and it still didn't help much. Here's a pic. No aquascaping done yet, I just basically threw the stem plants in. My Finnex FugeRay fixture hasn't arrived yet. I plan to have a low tech setup for now, but I will have pressurized CO2 at some point. Anyone with advice or words of encouragement would be appreciated, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed atm.
