hi
can any one tell if it is normal for a new tank that as been running for 4 days and had perfect crystal clear water suddenly overnight go discoloured and murky, my local aquarium shop said this is normal in new setups and is only fine matter being sucked up from within the gravel by the internal fluval 3plus but i have neva expierienced this in the past although this is the first time ive used a fluval 3plus internal filter as in the past i have always used under gravel filtration the small gravel i used was washed before i put it into tank when i first setup tank so i dont understand my local aquarium shop saying what they did
any suggestions would be most appreciated
kind regards
