Hello everyone! I sure could use some help with my tank.
I have 2 tanks, one 10 gallon and a 45 gallon tall. This is how my story goes.
I set up the 45 gallon, let it run for approximately 2 days. i then introduced my 3 baby Oscars to my tank. (setup and adding fish water remained clear) 2 days after my fish were in the water the water became cloudy. come to find out that my child was feeding them bologna.
I emptied the tank and put all the decorations into my 10 gallon along with the fish. Boom, my 10 gallon was infected with bologna (i unknowingly did this by transferring the decorations from one tank to another)
After rinsing out my 45 gallon (using just water) and refilling it and setting it back up. (with a new filter too not just replacing the carbon and floss) my tank was clear again. i rinsed the plants real good and put them back into my 45 gallon, (boom cloudy water again from the plants) you ask how do i know it was the plants. because i let the tank fun for 2 days (this is after i rinsed it) and then introduced my fish again, this time i did not put in the plants for almost 3 days. and i still had clear water... and when i put the plants in is when it started to get cloudy.
I know this is all side effects from my child putting bologna in the tank.
my question is this...
Is there anyway to get the side-effects of bologna out of my tanks?
or is this a never ending problem?
thanks for any and all help, monsterfishlover
