Bacterial Bloom

[steve1]

im assuming it's bacterial bloom as my water is staying VERY slightly merky/whitish even after a water change and a week or 2 of cycling the tank.

Also im guessing having gold fish in the tank wont really help with it either as the big fella keeps hoovering the gravel up and spitting it out.

I was thinking of moving the goldfish into another tank and see how the water go's see if it clears up over a week or more.

or is there any additives i can get that can too help clear up bacterial bloom or can the speed of your filters keep it producing?

any help/suggetions welcome.

Steve.

Your best keeping him there.

All that will happen is you will take him out and the bacteria attacking the ammonia will die off and re set the cycle.
