Hi all, I am not sure if this is the right place for this thread but i am really at wits end as to how to solve my cloudy water problem. I started my planted tank about 2 months ago using Ada Amazonia II as substrate. Initially there was some cloudiness but I thought after a few changes the water will clear but it seem after so many weeks the problems get worse. Wondering if there is a bloom in nutrients. I am using Astro external canister - I think 1200/l flowrate. The last time when I used lapis sand and other fertiliser I did not face such problems. Don't know whats wrong. Hope the bros n sister here can help. Thanks

if its bacterial boom what do you do to rid of it ?
Did you add any additives/fertilizers/bacteria onto the soil while setting up the tank? Just curious.
Hi Jervis nice to hear from you. I have been following your thread and am impressed by your set up as much as your photo skill. Well I only dose liquid fertiliser during weekly water change but I am trying to change 20 - 30% water every day now and see if this will helpOriginally Posted by Jervis
hey guys my tank water is now crystal clear. what i did was washed the sponge in the canister and planted a few bunches of blyxa japonica and also changed about 70% of the water. After a few days when i returned from work i saw the water crystal clear and it was really heart-lifting. Thanks to all bros who shared.
sunflower,
well done...
at least we learn from you too. We will do like wise!
bacteria bloom , no need to worry, takes about 5 days to clear. Besides, the new ADA soil 2, has less issues with cloudiness as well... the package did indicate right
Yeah the ADA Amazonian II in fact doesn't cloud my 2ft tank at all... I got crystal clear water all alongbacteria bloom , no need to worry, takes about 5 days to clear. Besides, the new ADA soil 2, has less issues with cloudiness as well... the package did indicate right
