Our fish tank keeps having pollution issues.?
We have a 30 gallon tank we put our one 11" koi (nose to end of tail) and our fat little fantail (maybe 4") in from the fish pond since winter is upon us. We brought in just two oxygenators and we got a pump and biofilter for a 40 gallon tank, because they recommended that. We feed them about one tablespoon of feed a day and we put in four snails front the store and two terracotta pots from the pond (they wanted shelter). The water became very cloudy and we found that the filter has fouled just days after setting it all up. We replaced the filter and changed out 1/2 the water. We found high ammonia then, so we added something to control that and we have tried the water clarifier and the bio booster - the water still clouds. The new filter seems to be working OK and we have it running full-on all the time....it has been two weeks now and we keep changing 1/3rd of the water every few days trying to clear it - what is wrong? Could 1T still be too much food? They are indoors.
OMG, outa 15 answers, only 2 people caught the problem, that's really sad
Well the problem is that your tank is not cycled, and the cloudiness you experience is from good bacteria establishing in your tank
which means, STOP USING ANY CHEMICALS, THROW THEM ALL OUT, and just cut down of feeding amount and keep up with partial waterchanges of 25% every other day to 3 days
with you putting chemicals in, you pretty much slowed down your cycling process
it takes up to 8 weeks, for a tank to fully cycle
which means, you will see an ammonia spike, after that a nitrite spike, and once these 2 have dropped you will finally have good nitrAte readings, which should be below 20ppm
Ammonia and nitrites are suppose to be 0 once your tank is done cycling
The only chemical you use is a waterconditioner, which you put in your replacement water
Once your tank is cycled, you can do the weekly maintanance of 25% partial waterchanges with a gravel siphon
Also when cleaning your filter, don't throw out the carbon cartridge, but just rinse it with water to get off most of the debris, then put it back into your filter
if you have a sponge in your filter, do the same thing with it
hope that helps
Good luck
