Thanks for the welcomes

Not sure yet... Tank is cycling at the moment. Liking the look of the barbs.

My tank is looking very cloudy, i have some bogwood in it. Could that be why and will it clear??

Hello and welcome.

Have you not long added the water? Did you soak the bog wood prior to putting it into your tank?

 

[lynn65]

Hi... Put it in last night. Yeah soaked it over night in first boiling water.
Should i try again??

 

[micko]

I've know some pieces to leach colour for weeks. I try to soak any bits I get for a week changing the water daily. There's nothing to say you can't keep it in there as it is but if you'd like a cleaner look then I would suggest this.

 

[lynn65]

Will give it another couple of days and if it hasn't cleared then will soak it for a while.
Thanks for replying.

 

[micko]

no problem.

Hi, what sized tank do you have? Bogwood does usually take a while to clear up! You might have to have quite a bit of patience (unless you want murky water that is )

Hi... Its 72litres... It seems to be slowly clearing
