It's just cloudy!!!
The story: I have a 20gal tank, cycled with fish, it's planted. Parameters: ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5-10, pH 7.6. I had an AC 30 filter and just replaced it with AC 50, but I kept all media from my old filter. I tested the water after 24 hours with the new filter and it's good. The filter media are sponge, then Seachem purigen and Biomax on top. Light is Nova Extreme t5 HO 6700K and a pink plant bulb, 24W each.
When I look at the front of the tank, it looks whitish cloudy like a bacterial bloom. From the sides and top it seems yellowish. I looked at some tank water in a clear glass placed on a sheet of white paper, and looks clear. In a white cup it looks yellowish.
I tried Seachem Clarity and it did nothing. I don't know what to do!
I used to have the carbon insert in the filter until it started to fall apart about 1-2 weeks ago and I decided to not buy a new one because I've read carbon can absorb the ferts I'm adding for my plants. Should I put it?
Soon i wont be able to see my fish in there! Please help!!!
