water in the tank
hi everyone...
yesterday i noticed that the water on my 29 gallon tank was a little blurry. i did some tests everything seemed to be OK. the ammonia is 0 nitrite is 1.0ppm, the PH is 8.7, and the Nitrate is 20ppm. Based on the instructions that come with the kit that i have, only the nitrite was a little high. is there another reasons why the water could be blurry? im going to make a 5 gallon water change tomorrow, and today i changed the filters. (getting my 110gallon in 2 weeks)

in a 29g tank, yes. I would cut it in half. I only feed a cube and a half daily to my 165g tank
