Having recently moved house I am having all manner of strange water issues with my tank.
The tank was recently planted out using ADA Aquasoil.
After filling I did 80% water changes are recommended ( 1 1/2 weeks )
Everytime the water looked very cloudy ( milky ) but new water looked clear.'
Next day cloudy again, running 2 x ehiem 2217 ( already seeded as off other tanks so no cycle started ) along with 2 x powerheads with very fine filter wool the water cleared ( kinda ).
So at 3 week mark I added fish and some shrimp. All were happy and doing well.
Did water change of about 30% , while filling fish started to die!!
After about 1 hour all fish dead ( threadfin rainbows and spotted blueyes ) and 1/2 of my shrimp.
Next day 3/4 of shrimp dead.
As tank is now, shrimp that survived looked great but tank is still milky.
Now before I get told off for not checking water before use etc I had been doing these sorts of water changes in previous home with no issues.
So my question is, does anyone else have water issues in Kingsley or surrounds?
( I know Kane has cloudy/milky water so I am not alone )
( doing odd hours so haven't made it to lfs to get water actually tested )
Cheers
