Hi. I've Dropped In 1 Algae Wafer For The Last 2 Days To Feed The Algae Eater. Now I Can See Something It Looks Kind Of Light Blue On My Dalmation Mollys Fins What Is This What Should I Do. My Tank Water Is Cloudy Should I Drop A Tablet To Clear It Up With The Fish In?

PLEASE HELP WORRIED!

How long has the tank been running? Sounds a bit like a bacteria bloom meaning that either all your bacteria has died off or there wasn't enough there to cope with the fish in the first place?

How long has it been running and what fish are in there?

I ordered a new filter for the 10 gallon tank will the filter remove hair? Im literally going insane ive washed the 10 gallon out 5 times and filled it up again Theres still hair in the water. and now to top it off the 10g tank has water stains i cant get off. Also the gravel i got the color seems to be coming off into the water is this safe for the fish
Thanks

Do you know about cycling? 2 weeks isn't enoughf, so your tank must be in a cycling prosses.

As I said above, the tank is in a cycling prosses and thats the bacterial bloom, if the bacterial bloom heppend when the tank is already cycled then it would be ok to use Aqua Clear, but 2 weeks is not after the cycle.
