Murky Tank, What Do I Do?

Frisbee
  • #1
Hi, I finally got my new tank set up and I ran it for a couple days and now I want to get fish but I don't know if I should because it's a little bit murky. It was murky the day after I set it up so I did a water change and that just about fixed it but it's still a little bit murky, is it okay to put fish in it? I have some drift wood in it and I was kinda guessing it might be that but I don't know.

I'ts prob. okay for the fish, the cloudiness will most likely dissipate after a couple days.

The tank isn’t cycled so it’s not safe for fish yet. The cycle can tank weeks sometimes months. If you want it faster let me know and I can help! Can I get a picture of the tank?

How do I make the cycling go faster and what do I do to cycle it? I did everything the manual said to do before letting fish into it.

I kinda need to know today.

TSSwill definitely help. Do you have any other tanks that are cycled or know someone with a cycled tank?

Th tank doesn’t look bad but if you want it to get clear within 24 hours get some aquarium clarifier. It works great for my tanks!

Will it hurt fish?

TSS, no

It’s meat to be put in the 5 hours before adding fish

What if there are already fish in the tank?
Can you put it in with weekly water change?

Yes but it only needs to be added once maybe twice
