I am two days new to this whole fish thing.
I have a 33 gallon fish tank and the "LFS" gave me an albino cory and three pristella tetras to cycle my tank with. It has been two days and I have been adding "cycle" to the tank, I added two capfuls on the first day, before I got fish, then once the fish were added, I put in one more capful. Today I added another capful (bottle says you can't overdose). The fish seem okay, but the water is a bit milky, not lots but definately not crystal clear. I have a test for ph which is perfect, and one for nitrate which I think is for a couple of weeks from now to see if I am cycled. I am not sure if any of this is normal, the milky water and all. Should I be doing daily water changes? I am so over my head right now! Thanks in advance to all you experts.....
