Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi everyone. My name is Cori. I am new the site. When I was a kid, my dad had several freshwater aquariums, & I thought this aquarium thing was gonna be easy.... boy was I mistaken.
Right now my biggest complaint is green water. I was away for a week and used a vacation feeder. When I came back the water was so green, I couldnt even see the fish. The monthly 25% water change showed some improvement, but the fish were still barely visible. I was at a loss of what to do next so I tried some algae destroyer, and it still didnt show much improvement, and a danio died. I dont think the tank is over-populated. It is not in direct sunlight, and the light is only on for 6 hours a day. Is that too long?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It has been suggested by someone who knows less about aquariums than myself that I just forget this whole thing, or convert to a saltwater aquarium. Is that even possible?? They get algae too dont they??
