Problem Overnight!

[jdm]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice ...I have had my tank for about a week and have checked everything and its all fine but today the water is cloudy,I have researched this and think its down to a bacterial bloom.What I want advice on is how to clear it up ,I have read to leave it alone ,do water changes,add filter aid, clean the tank thouroughly etc,it's all a bit confusing...

My fish are fine (I have five danios )and not struggling I have turned up the air stone a little as well to ensure they have enough air....what else should I be doing

any advice much appreciated

JD

Too much organic material in the tank causes this in a newly cycling tank. A 50% water change via a gravel vacumn cleaner would help and feed the fish sparingly (dechlorinate water before adding to your tank). Filter aid/bottled bacteria would help speed up your cycle, go for it.

Great info on this forum about bacterial blooms here: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/246850-bacterial-blooms-explained/
