My top fin 10 filter was clogging up the other day so I slid up the cartridge a little bit to ease the water flow. Today my water is all cloudy and Im a little confused on what to do. I tested for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. and everything was 0. Maybe I read the test results wrong...
Is a big w/c bad since I am not even a week into cycling?
I am starting to regret trying to cycle my 10 g tank with my 2 dwarf platys. I don't mind all the work.. but I just don't want them to die. I am starting to wonder if I should transfer them to the 2 gallon bowl and try and re cycle again.
*update*
Either they were really hungry or were having trouble breathing. It seemed like they are gasping for air at the surface but Im not sure. I did a 30% w/c because I panicked. was that the wrong thing to do?
Also I was wondering if a product like ph balance 7.0 is bad to use. My gf bought it but I wasn't sure to use it or not.
Thank you
