We spoke earlier today... after applying First Defense to the replacement water, do I need to allow the water to sit for 24hrs before pouring it into the tank?
My tank is still cloudy after replacing 10gal of the water (46gal tank). Should I use some type of chemical designed to clear the water or should I wait since I am trying to cycle the aquarium with fish? Would it harm my Cichlids?
I conducted the necessary checks after changing the water and these are the results:
pH level-7.6; ammonia-0; nitrite-0; and of course nitrate-0
What should I do at this point? I'm only 2days into this thing and I'm getting frustrated already.
