So I have a new 90 gallon tank. The SECOND i filled up my tank and turned on the filter the water has been soooo cloudy. Never even had a chance to get the "cloudy due to bacteria" stage. I feel like something mustve caused it? Its been this way now for 4 days (filled it 4 days ago). The water was filled, I used seachem prime to dechlorinate, then I also added fritz 7 for the bacteria but it was cloudy before the bacteria. I have a hunch maybe it could be the filter? Im using Seachem Tidel 110 for the filter but I added some other stuff into it so the layers are as follows:
bottom layer: filter floss
second layer: sponge that comes with the filter
third layer: carbon sheet
fourth layer: another sponge (same one as before)
fifth layer: 3 packets of purigen (i have driftwood so was trying to prevent tannins)
sixth layer: the biomedia that came with the filter
Did I add stuff in the wrong order and maybe thats whats causing it?
Any help would be appreciated. thanks so much.
Also things to note: ph: 7.6
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 0
