Clear Water - Whoo-hoo!

eastkygal · 05-04-2007, 11:00 AM

Hello everyone... I finally have clear water!!!! So, far (if you've read the Contradicting Advice thread you know the deal) everything the shopowner said has happened. No spike in nitrite all readings are good. Ph is still a little higher than I would like. Algae bloom was causing the crazy cloudy water. It never cleared on its own, but the shopowner sold me some Acurel F which cleared it up within hours, and is made with organic matter ingredients. Water is crystal clear now! Fish are happy and healthy. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I've done any water changes. So, after a month, or 2... shopowner says we start adding fish a little at a time keeping check on water levels and doing changes as needed. Then regularly once a month or more if needed. It worked!!!!
