Reply With QuoteBro how long have you had your tank? 50% twice a week seems a bit much in my opinion. Think you need to let beneficial bacteria build up.
Hi Friends !
I have this 4 Feet tank with 12 x 3" Frontosas in it. I'm running 2 Eheim 2217s and 2 Eheim Internals on it. I also have a Top filter on this tank. Anyways my Water Changing schedule is about 50%, 2 times a week.
I find that my water is crystal clear, but soon after a Water Change, the water turns slightly cloudy - milky white, which settles in a day again.
Just wanted to know if this is normal or is it like there is an imbalance after a water change, causing a mild bacterial bloom ?
Kindly guide me Friends...
Thanks and Regards

Think u should WC once a week about 25% cos our water is new water. It will kill all your good bact in a short while. That where your water turn cloudy. The secound day will be clear after new bact started to grow. The more u change water the more your frontosa not stable (no hump n true color). thkq

20% once a week will do it... like what others have said you are doing more harm than good... after a month or two then once every 2 weeks WC... also u can buy instant bacteria to supplement the ones in the tank after the WC to clear up the water...
