Kylie could u tell me why my water in tank has a cloudy green appearance to it, i have only just completed a water change and clean 3 days ago? the ph was acidic but now is normal ph, and it is pure tank water , so i dont know how the ph got acidic?

what is your ph spook.. might be as its tank water.. what filtration do you have and what are you ammonia nitrate and nitrite levels.. how much water did you change.. just trying to get an idea..

ph is 7 , the filter is wat came with the tank, Aqua one 4ft tank, we have the noodles white filters underneath black meshy filters, the only new thing we have put in the tank is charcoal? as for nitrate levels and amonialevels, i have no idea , but the level indicator on side of tank for this is saying its fine?

ok it came with aqua one canister then.. it should be white cotton on top then black sponge in top container. blue sponge and noodles in second chamber and blue sponge and bio balls in last chamber.. also sounds silly but did you take th enoodles out of there bag..

try to slowly raise your ph it should be about 8 for africians but if you boost it to fast you can kill you fish .but you have americians there too right they need it low and some tanins from wood in water.this is where it gets stricky keeping them together. adding some crushed coral or limsstone will help keep it higher or shellgrit from the beach ..
