Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi there, I have a 30 gallon goldfish aquarium which is 2.5months old, which is fully cycled. I added the fish and snails a few weeks ago, and now the water looks a little (not foggy, not murky), blurry? I'm trying to come up with the right word, but its just not crystal clear anymore. Have checked the water the last 3 days, and Ammonia is at ZERO, Nitrate, PH, are both within recommended levels, except my Nitrite is at .50ppm.
I normally add 1/2 tsp of aquarium salt per gallon of water added, but did some reading and found that if i up it to about 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons, it will help the fish tolerate this period when i'm trying to get the nitrite under control. The last two days, i've also done a 25% water change, and it doesn't really change - what gives????
