Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I've a 10G planted tank with platy and tetra. I've some live plants as well. My tank used to crystal clear. 2 Months back i changed filter cartridge(after running for 8 months.). When i installed new cartridge, I just squeezed off old filter cartridge inside tank and behind new filter cartridge. Then the problem started. 2 days water was muddy, then it started turning green. I tried water change, it did not help. Then i tried the following.
1. Do a big water change
2. Cover up the tank full without light for 3 days.
3. Open the tank on 3rd day and do a water change again.
This helped for 2 days and water turned green again. This I did twice to make sure that i did correctly. Still no solution. After 3 days, water will be clean for 2-3 days then again it starts turning green . Please help me on what am i doing wrong. Is there any other solution for this?
