Hey,
started up a new 20 gallon freshwater tank (upgraded from a 10 gallon)almost a month ago, got about 10 fish in there, about a week or so ago the water turned cloudy white. I have read all about new tank bacteria blooms and other causes, however, with trying several methods to clear up the water, nothing works. Is this a problem that goes away on its own, if so how long? Is there anything else I can try besides water changes, testing pH, reducing food amounts, cleaning gravel, adding water clearifiers? It does seem to be getting worse over time, but the fish look ok....
thanks -Brad
