Hello,
i am preparing my 10 gallon tank for a Betta fish and i was told by the manager at Petsmart to use Proper pH 7 to get it down from being a high pH. i used it and within a few hours my water became cloudy with dust-like particles floating around when that wasn’t there before. i now regret adding the proper pH and should have just bought the pH down instead of the powder.
i did a 50% water change and wiped down the walls from this milky residue. It hasn’t gone away completely but i’m curious what i should do and what’s going on. i just wanna fix this before i get my fish.
