Evening everyone,
I have been noticing my water is no where near as clear as water in the tanks at fish stores or in a lot of pictures on here and I am trying to get some advice on what I can do other than getting a bigger tank.
So here is a break down of whats going on... I have a 10 gallo. Tank with a topfin 10 filter system in it. I have a goldfish in it thats about 3 inches. I started the tank fishless with safe start and distilled water and let it set for 48 hours and had the water tested before putting Alvin(my goldfish) in it. About 3 days after putting Alvin in the tank I noticed a slight cloudiness to it. This past sunday I did a 25% water change, still slightly cloudy. Yesterday did a vaccum clean and another 25% water change.... still slightly cloudy. I had some advice from someone on here that a liquid test on the water is more accurate then the strips so I had that done today and all levels are good. Any suggestions?
