Yep - the water could be verry cloudy for a day or two
Sincerely Lasse
I've woken up to cloudy tanks on two different occasions and while it could be a bacteria bloom it wasn't in my case. First time around I had several snails go into spawning which wrecked the tank. This was in my 40 breeder and it was a very healthy milk white color so bad that several fish struggled to breath. Carbon and a quick water change fixed the problem and I witnessed this a couple other times oddly enough and each time it only took a bit of effort from me to right with no losses.
Another time this happened to me was last year in May. I recently upgraded that 40 breeder into a 210 gallon tank due to the number of RBTA's we have (they split over the years and we started with 1 and now have 11). Anyway no sooner than a month into that tank / upgrade a pair of the larger ones decided to spawn and again a clear tank turns cloudy white that carbon and water change clean up. Because this event was only a pair of RBTA's it wasn't has bad and cleared up quickly but when they do this it gets pretty fouled quickly.
Thank you Lasse.
Hi @saf1
Thank you for sharing. If you dont mind me asking can let me know how to dose carbon? I have carbon in a nylon bag as a filter media. Its there forever and I used to change them every 2-3 months.
