Welcome back to the hobby Scrupie.
If it is a newly setup, leave it alone with a few hardy fish to let your tank settle down. The beneficial bacteria needs time to cultivate.
Don't need to change water during this time too.
Cheers bro.
Bacteria Blooms ????
Water Clear but I keep getting small minute white particles. Filtration is Fluval 305 Tank is 28 Euro Bow Front. All stats are basically in range PH is 6.6 - 6.8 and I think it stays low due to my driftwood. I am slowly trying to raise the PH with Bicarb but I am fearful of over dosing. Have used Clarify once but it does not say how often it can be used. It did help eliminate most of the Bacteria. Any Thought. Tank looks great and everything growing. SO WHERE DO I GO NEXT GUYS I am an old guy getting back into my young hobbie after 45 years.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the reply, guess I'm getting nervous after spending what I saved up for. Charlie and Katrina did me in but the tank has brought a lot of enjoyment back into my life. Will try to get some pics posted but my files are to big. I sincerely appreciate the comments.
Sorry to hear about the devastation, but am glad you have 're-found' joy in the hobby !
Patience, i guess, is key.
Cant wait to see ya progress
scrupie. welcome to AQ! Guess your tank is pretty newly setup, give it another 2-4weeks, your filter media would be matured by then
Thank you Kemp for the em. Guess I'm a little impatient. Sure is a lot to grasp since the old days. Guess I'll just keep reading all the stats here till I can contribute something.
