Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi guys. I am fairly new to all this so looking for any gems of advice you can offer. Here are the areas I'm struggling with :
I'm struggling to keep my water clear and having real problems with green algae. How often should I change my water (I have a 180 gallon tank). I'm using all the correct filters, monthly water changes (is this enough)? Also struggling to clear the poop and gunge at bottom of tank, in the sand. I have done a lot of research so I am learning. Will be nice to have somewhere to go to ask questions etc about what I'm doing wrong.
The other thing is health of the fish. A couple of them have swollen bellies and one has actually completely lost an eye! I was horrified to see this, it was one of the bigger fish. Also, why do they sometimes lose their bright colour and look very washed out?
As you can see, I need a lot of help. Should I post some pics??
Thanks in advance
