well i installed another filter and i havnt seen anything different. now i have 2 aquatech 30-60 gall with 330gph. my water is still cloudy and if i look at the water from the side of the tank i cant see the other side. i can only see to the middle if that any way to cure that

eiginh

What kind of cloudiness? Green,Brown,White? Have you been doing daily w/cs?

Camacho

the cloudyness is white almost like a fog color i did a 50% water change and 50% went away now i can see to the other end neer the begining of the dec on the other side. i think i just started a mini nitrogen cycle is that possable when doin 50% water change. also i went to my local pet shop and they said that 25 daily water change is really bad for the tank cause its not letting the water establish with good bacteria. nirites 0 nitrates 0 amonia is .50-1.0 PPM i think there is something wrong with my kit that really doesnt look right. also what is better when adding new water to my tank as a water treatment. i have prime, amquil +, stress zyme and stress coat and i almost forgot today when i looked at my JD's they had black rings around there eyes and last night i saw them yawning? normal or not

eiginh

Not too sure about the yawning but Prime and Amquel + works good as well as adding stress coat. Don't add prime and amquel+ together. I prefer Prime b/c you dose less. I think you are going through a mini cycle. keep up with the w/c's

Camacho

def am and i talk to shawnie and she said to start doin 30% water changes so the amonia will go down to 0 so i will start that asap and keep up with it till i see 0 amonia cause i already got 0 nitriteslol 1 down 1 to go i guess

eiginh

I didn't understand that clearly so you have 1 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrates?

Camacho

no sorry .25-.5 amonia 0 nirtites and 5-10ppm nitrates

eiginh

that's good, keep up with the w/cs and voila! tank is back to normal Good luck!

Hows the JD doing?

Camacho

there doing awsome eating flakes, and green beans, and oh boy do they love blood worms still too small for my floating pellets i bought the med size one and it doesnt fit in there mouths its funny watchin them try n eat it thoe.

What Does voila mean?

also idk if you can help me out i did a 30% water change last and i sucked up something white n fluffy kinda looked like the ends of a Q-TIP do you have any idea what that could be?

eiginh

"Voila" is an expression for satisfaction after accomplishing something. Usually used in cooking shows when they say how easy it is to make cookies and when it's done they say "...voila! and now it's ready to be eaten..." LOL

Can't tell without a picture but does it look like this image?
