Thanks brother 😎

Glad I could help 😊💪 Here's another good one on whats happening in your tank - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apyWlqun1MvQnH0.html

Agreed! Not using any of that. Just Excel for the Co2 benefit and Equilibrium for Hardness. I'm thinking I have to dial down the excel a bit. Less lighting too. Thanks for the advice though 👍

I didn't know that hahaha, now my tank is slightly cloudy, prolly I'd just dose micros at half the strength or is that bad too

Will micronutrient ferts be okay? Or no ferts at all?

I appreciate that trust bro! I got you! 😊💪

My pleasure! Glad you're finding the channel helpful. 😊 BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com

LOL, Glad I was able to help with that! And I'm glad I'm going through it now to show everyone that it happens to everyone 😊😁

@@KaveManAquatics ❤️❤️

I setup tank 2 weeks already, sand base, have 2 canister of good flow than needed for tank. Tank is cloudy just want to know how long it will take to clear the cloudy as i dont see much different since last 2 weeks

Glad you didnt give up! I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - kzfaq.info/sun/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er AND, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com

Algae growth is due to excess light and excess nutrients in the water. You either have 1 or both. Natural light from windows counts too. My book on getting crystal-clear water can definitely help! 😁 It's short, to the point, and covers all the causes and solutions for cloudy water. Comes in eBook and Paperback. I promise you won't be disappointed! Check it out here - bit.ly/clearH2O

Thats a myth. Bacteria doesn't squeeze out of a sponge filter. It's attached to the filters surfaces. Squeezing dirty water into another tank just adds dirty water. What you want to do is add that entire sponge filter to the new tank 😊

@KaveMan Aquatics really?! I sort of knew it was! I got this info from Luke's Goldies yt. I def wont be doing it! You the man!

It has begun to clear on its own. 😊😊

Glad I could help! 💪

Yes sir! Thank you!!!

It can happen, Your source water is not the same as others. be patient and give it time 😊

@@KaveManAquatics thanks, I should have made a no food cycle. I think I put too much waste for heterotrophic (planted + food), I also had 3 young given guppies in to produce some waste at the start of the cycling. I don’t think I have ammonia yet due to blooming.

Cloudy water can be caused by a number of things. Most common is over feeding and over lighting. But I cover all the possible causes and their solutions in my book. It's short and to the point. You wont be disappointed! Check it out - bit.ly/clearH2O

Try adding a Pleco! Watch this - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcl5lLJj25_Gemg.html

I havent ever used UV on any of my tanks and theyre always crystal clear. This is a natural temporary cloud issue 😊

@@KaveManAquatics I never see these clouds anymore, for any reason, and I don't need to rely on chemicals.

@@Awsimilate I don’t rely on any chemicals or UV and still have crystal clear water. Neither one is necessary in a freshwater tank. But if you like your UV, keep using it 👍

No it won’t. They will be fine. 😁

Continue dosing until your tank has completed the cycle. This video will be helpful - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/laymn8J8tNWogIk.html

@@KaveManAquaticsthx. I have a freshwater tank with just neon tetras, zebras etc in it and it was crystal clear and then a few weeks ago started looking cloudy and I tested the water and ammonia was through the roof. (I do water changes monthly like 25-30% 55gal tank). I did a few water changes didn’t help so then I started adding prime and stability three days ago. Ammonia is almost gone. I should just keep adding the prime and stability and not do any more water changes right?

You can for a short term solution. They do work. But the heart of the reason for cloudy water will still be there and need to addressed eventually.

@@KaveManAquatics what is a good UV light for water clarity

It is finally starting to clear up. 😁 I posted a story here and on IG a few days ago. A few more days and I should be crystal clear 😁

@@KaveManAquatics that’s great! Thanks man, your channel helps me a lot. I had a similar issue and listened to you. It worked!!

@@mrzameer6197 ok thanks I have an external filter I was going to put an internal one in for extra airation

Have you made your guppy a quarantine tank? What are your water parameters? What food do you give them?

@@sankarkumar9702 So, I apologize for my life story in advance (long response) and I appreciate ANY help/advice that you or anyone else might have!! Yes to quarantine tank. It’s a 10 gallon (my clean tank is a 20g). Parameters are stable and were for the previous 2 or 3 guppies. In my 20g I have 3 glofish, 3 neon terra, 2 loaches and a platinum guppy (?? he’s all white and he doesn’t have a fancy tail). When I bought the tank and first batch of fish NO ONE told me that I needed chemicals so all but the loach died. After my second batch slowly started dying off (still not knowing about chemicals) I did tons of research. I finally got all of the chemicals/test strips/etc and slowly started introducing the new fish. The guppies died again and I was introduced to the heater. That seemed to help a lot, along with the proper chemicals so I introduced the white guppy & 2 fancy tails. Our fancy guppies started getting the tail rot so I quarantined all of the fish including the loach and used the API Fin & Body Cure. The guppies weren’t showing signs of improving, but the other fish weren’t showing signs of anything at all so I moved the healthy fish back to the clean tank and haven’t had any issues with them or the tank since. I did dump the rocks and got new ones and sanitized every inch of the tank, filter, supplies, decorations, etc before placing the fish back into the clean tank. Eventually I noticed that one of the loaches had 2 white spots on his head and wasn’t really looking like the brand new healthy one I had recently purchased, and from what I researched it sounded and looked like “hole in the head” and assumed that my guppies had been getting sick from him, but the people I spoke to said that loaches don’t really get that disease and that it was likely he’d just bumped his head on something and that guppies are usually a hit and miss and it depends on where you get them from, they also explained that the fancy tails became that way because of inbreeding and that genetics could be playing a role in why they’ve all died. I do know that since the API Fin and Body Cure wasn’t working on the guppy (it worked on the loach after about 2 full rounds) if I was going to save him I had to try something else, and Melafix kept popping up (& Blue Planet Tri-Sulfa but that’s only in Australia lol), so I grabbed the Melafix. It made our guppy perk up and become more active, but the next morning, even though he was still active, I literally watched as another small part of his tail fell off. So I freaked out and ran to a local fish store (& not the chain store where I got all my fish from) and the guy gave me the Seachem PolyGuard. He’s been on Seachem for a total of 5 days now and His tail is slowly starting to come back, but…now I can’t tell if it was the Melafix or the Seachem that helped him or if it was both. And if it is the Seachem, do I need to keep medicating (and breaking for a week after each full round) until his tail grows all the way back, will it grow back on its own without the meds after a full round, when do I place him in the clean tank? Do I clean/sanitizer his tank after a round of meds, keep him quarantined and introduce a new friend so he’s not so lonely and so the new friend gets a dose of meds before going into the clean tank? I have so many questions that I can’t seem to find answers for on the Internet, but I’ve found A LOT of helpful info from @KaveMan_aquatics so I thought I’d ask and see if I can get answers to some, if not all, of my questions lol

Sorry for the delayed response If you are able to see some transparent like or transcluscent tissue growth on the ends then it probably will grow back,if not,then please continue medicine finding out which one did the job(melafix or polyguard) in not easy but necessary to find out as giving too much medicine is harmful too. Which food do you give? Do you give live food/freeze dried food? If not,try feeding them occasionally that might boost the fin growth I have a betta that got fin rot and after doing these precautions I was able to heal him and betta fix that I was using initially had some harmful essential oils in it no idea about melafix will recommend joining a fish forum or fish related subreddit as that helps a lot. Many nice people over there helped me heal my betta Happy fishkeeping!

Sounds like you havent cycled the tank yet. This video will be helpful! - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6mlpNydxsfPY3k.html BTW, you should check out my new Aquarium Keeping APP designed for beginners! - aquabuildr.com

I have fish in the tank and they’re doing very well eating pooping and being active all day long. I’ve added both of those you ingested in your video after the water Change just not sure what I’m doing wrong

Awesome! Glad I could help! 😁

Thats a myth. Bacteria live on the sponge not in the water. You're just squeezing dirty water into your tank. Better method is to place the media itself or the entire filter on the new tank. I have plenty of videos on this process. But I'm cycling with Prime and Stability to show that it can be done when you're a beginner and dont have any other tanks or seeded media available.

Bacteria dont live on the water column lol they live on surface

Soon bro 😊

@@KaveManAquatics awsome can't wait to see

Glad to hear its easy for YOU.
