What is the right way to cycle tank2007-11-24 23:41:53

Stay away from the AmQuel, haven't heard very good things about it. Use this product called Prime by Seachem when you do water changes. Removes chlorine & chloramines from tap water, and detoxifies nitrite, ammonia, and nitrates to a harmless form, but still allows the tank to cycle.

The cloudy water is a bacterial bloom, common to new set up tanks. It'll go away in a few days. Just do those water changes and keep testing with the test kit.

What you have is a bacterial bloom. It usually lasts about 3 days. Stop the water changes. By not allowing the bacteria to level off you are creating new blooms. Leave the tank alone for a week at least or 2. If the cloudiness persists, you have a problem. Keep the tank around 80 degrees. If its still cloudy after 2 weeks, do a 30 percent partial and wait for the bloom again, continue partials once a month. It will level off. bacteria know what they are doing.'

be sure you are not overfeeding
