i recently set up a new tank and am trying to establish it to a steady state before introducing fish. I have cleaned everything before putting it in the tank (gravel, ornaments, filter, heater, etc) and then filled the tank and added “tap safe” and an additive to “aid bacterial growth”, as instructed. I also added three live plants, into the gravel, as instructed.
After 12-18 hrs of good clear water, it has suddenly gone very murky.
Will this clear or do I need to undertake a water change.
This is slightly unsettling and I am pleased no fish are yet in the tank.
I’d appreciate any advice.
