Removed fake rocks and replaced it with driftwood
mr.pro1987 said:125g nitrate/nitrite 0 ammonia 0 Ph 6.2. Discus tank. The driftwood was presoaked. It wasn't staining the water in my sink that was soaking it in but after putting it in the tank I can't even see the back of the tank. Did a pwc and it looks no better. Wat can I do to fix this. There is no green algae so its not an algea bloom do maybe a bacterial bloom if so how can I fix it
James_in_MN said:A cycled tank typically has 0ppm ammonia/nitrIte and 5+ppm nitrAte. Based on your numbers, it seems to be uncycled, am I correct? Especially since you're asking about a bacteria bloom, which typically comes with initial tank setup. If that's true, I hope you don't have discus in it yet.
If the driftwood wasn't staining the water you were soaking it in, I'd say it would be odd that it would be what's clouding your water now. How long did you soak the driftwood?
mr.pro1987 said:But yes its been cycled already awhile ago.
mr.pro1987 said:Deff will do that. It was three huge rocks covered with algea. So hoe do I stop or counteract the bloom
mr.pro1987 said:The nitrates/nitrites are spiking now. Will it be bad if I start doing two pwc a day till all this clears up? I'm worried for my discus
mr.pro1987 said:I just have the cheep little test strips the nitrates are at 40ppm and the nitrite is at 3ppm
mr.pro1987 said:I'm draining the tank now. Mainly I don't want to stress my fish out by changing the water constantly. But headed to the store as well
