Water Question

[gzylo]

Hi


My friend has strange water in his tank. It looks like millions of tiny oxygen bubbles in the water its density is so high that from 1m distance it looks like water is white cloudy.
He have switched of filter to check whether this symptoms are caused by oxygen mixing in water in turbine - no result



the tank have 96L capacity 3 corys 10 guppies



Does any one have an idea?



Regards
Bart

Sounds like the filter on to strong can you turn it down.
Is he runnng an airstone also.
How long has the tank been set up?
What are water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Usually when bubbles appear like that it's usually when the tank just been set up.
Is the filter really hitting the water hard.
What type of filter.

High-powered powerheads, that shoot streams of air into your tank’s water, can lead to nitrogen supersaturation. Treatment in this circumstance would be to turn down the powerhead water stream adjustment to its’ lowest setting and allow the air pump to be the only source of air. For the next few days, observe your fish. If the pop-eye starts to go away, then it was due to nitrogen supersaturation. If there is no change or the condition worsens, then the pop-eye is most likely due to an infectious cause and probably a bacterial one.

An excess of nitrogen gas can also occur as a result of a large build-up of nitrites and nitrates in the water and has been seen in deep wells and frozen-over ponds and lakes, but probably does not happen to a significant degree in the aquarium. It is always important however to maintain excellent water quality for your fish. Under normal circumstances, there should be no measurable nitrites and the nitrates should be kept at 20 ppm or lower for all but the most sensitive species.
