Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi all,
OK, the system was primitive, and I can't blame the cat... but the end result, a few weeks ago, yeast from my DIY CO2 when in descent quantity in the 33Gal aquarium.
What I've tried so far:
I am tempted to drain it all, wash everything (well not the fish) in 1/20 bleach dilution, and restart all over. But this will imply (in addition to the crazy work) a new cycle that my fish probably won't like...
Therefore I need help. Big time...

What I've tried so far:
- Several consecutive days of 95% water change. Water cleared up, of course, but some yeast was always dormant somewhere and then the tank would re-fogged after a few days.
- Added Seachem Purigen to the filter: no change whatsoever
- Tried Nutrafin Clear Fast. Works brilliantly, but again after a few days, completely foggy again...
- Added 2 extra powerheads with dense filtration medium to try to catch it as much as possible (this is new from yesterday, so can't judge yet on the effectiveness) and add Oxygen.
- Tried Fungicide (Tetra FungiStop) since Yeast is a fungus. Thought I'd nuke them. Only tried that once, but no obvious impact.
