What did you use to clean the aquarium?

 

I just cleaned it with water and a new clean sponge and a credit card to scrape the algae.

The rocks were cleaned before too, but had been in the bag for quite a while. Maybe a little over a year.

Its a 3 stage filter and I cleaned the whole thing and replaced all 3 stages at once too. Maybe I killed all the bacteria too fast or something





My fish and turtle are swimming like they are on crack. I think I dropped some in the water too. They go back and forth in the tank and the fish digs in the rocks alot...

 

The crack in the water could be it. LOL. The water stays murky with the filter running?

 

I'm telling ya...eat the fucking turtle.

 

Yea its been running since I changed it.

 

I was thinking that maybe there was a combination of chemicals that could have caused this reaction. Replace the water with fresh and add only your Chlor Out first.

 

did you remember to rinse your carbon.....

 

:werd:

I was under the assumption that there were new filters or they were cleaned along with the rest of the aquarium.

 

You killed the biological filtration by getting rid of the rock. Rock keeps the biological filtration going. Your tank is going through a cycle again. It may take up to a month depending on the size and bioload on the tank.

 

I rinsed the carbon out pretty well... its not a black dust floating in there... Its just murky looking.

We'll see I guess... i'll keep everyone updated.
