looked over and noticed yesterday my 30g (which has high ammonia levels) is cloudy. It is a sign of a bacteria bloom from what I have read.
I am wondering if I should do another water change or let the bacteria breed some more.
a little history of the levels in that tank:
8/3 water change 1800hrs
8/3 tests 2315hrs pH 7 - ammonia .25 - nitrite 0 - nitrate 5
8/7 test 1215hrs pH 7.6 - ammonia 4 - nitrite .25 - nitrate 10
8/7 water change 1315hrs
8/9 test 2040hrs pH 7.8 - ammonia 2 - nitrite .5-1 - nitrate 40
8/12 test 1115hrs pH 7.4 - ammonia 1 - nitrite .5 - nitrate 20
so it seems like the tank is stabilizing after 3 days. Should I do a water change and throw things into chaos again?
