Problem with yellow water

jess869 · 03-22-2006, 04:49 PM

have a 700L tank, and have used tri sulpher several times cos of ich. The water is now yellow, and seems that no amount of water changes will get rid of it. All levels seem to be fine, including phosphate. Any suggestions on how to make water nice and clear again??

Fine, fresh activated carbon, diatomatous earth, or micron pleated filter in a strong filter. Do you have a canister filter?

Just out of curiosity do you have any bogwood in your tank?
