I added the soil to my 10 gallon tank Monday night before leaving for 2 days in Maine on a business trip and thought I'd come home to a nice clear tank, but it's still cloudy. It's not as cloudy as it was before I left, I could hardly see a plant it was so bad, but now I can at least see the plants in the front but not in the back and I cannot see the back glass.
How long will it take for my water to clear out? The soil feels awesome, however, if it's always going to be cloudy, that's not good. A plant came loose and when I put the stem back in the soil, it kicked up a cloud of dust from the soil. The bag says, "do not rinse". Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm also concerned that the PH is very low, I have one fish in there (apisto-red tail) because I'm expecting it to cycle. I want to put some of the medium from my 29 gallon in the tank but worried because I came home to yet another case of BGA in that tank. I'm telling you, this is becoming a very frustrating hobby for me, it's just one thing after another.
Any help is so appreciated.
