Fletch Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Correction, water does smell. :-( This is my test tank so trying to wait it out and not add anything, if i can. Filter has done nothing for cloudiness. If it's a bacterial bloom as Matt suggested, how ling will it take to clear? This is the reson I am doing this to a small tank before I tear apart my community tank. :-) Edited November 21, 2011 by Busman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 No idea how long it will last, I've never had one. Never had ammonia either. Hope it works out and you don't loose any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 This was a failure. :-(. I ripped it apart today and redid the whole tank. I think the BB was leaching through the top layer. I used Seachem Clarity and it did sort of work but took all night. This morning there was a fine orange layer on top of the sand. The water was still "milky". When I emptied the tank, the sand stank bad. So, lesson learnt and try again. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
