    Hi wondering if you can help I’ve got a problem with my Fish tank it’s been set up for almost 2 years now I went away for a long weekend come back and the water is really cloudy the whole time I’ve had it it has been clear apart from the first bacterial bloom when it was being set up never in issue until now what do I do The amount of food I see the time does not change due to I have an automatic feeder which I’ve had from the first day of fish keeping i’ve not changed food my pH level is 6.0 my ammonia level is zero ppm my nitrates is zero ppm and my nitrate fluctuates between zero ppm and 5.0 ppm I test my water with an IPI freshwater master test kit my water temperature is 26.5°C that’s 79.7 degrees Fahrenheit Love watching your videos in my spare time that’s how I’ve learnt all about the fish keeping

    Given how good chemistry is nowadays, I no longer bother waiting. I set up my tank, add the conditioner, let it run for a day. Then I go and buy some fish, add it to the tank, add the bacteria, and boom, all good. I have to say, good to monitor the levels though after, just in case you need to do a water change.

    I love Prime Time as well, another awesome channel. But if you think they're not out to make money and earn a living, lol thats just laughable. A youtube channel is VERY hard work. Pumping out quality videos takes time, effort and money of your own investment. No one does this NOT to earn money.

    @Jimmy P Aquatics I’m sure I don’t. But what I do know is they don’t put in Hours and Hours of work NOT to make money. They have ads on their videos just like the rest of us do. They sell Merch just like the rest of us do. They have a website that earns money as well. Just because a channel may or may not have a sponsor doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to make money. This is VARY HARD work. But I know how easy it is to think it’s not from the other side. And let me just make a point. There’s nothing wrong with trying to earn money from hard work. Prime time is doing everything right for the hobby and for themselves.

    When having hundreds of dollars invested into fish it makes no cents to pinch pennies on a few ounces of water conditioners. Even if its a few "feeder fish" we should all strive to do our best to create the most comfortable habitat as possible for our fish. All they want is some clean heathy water and a pinch of food a couple of times a day. Well actually they would love a hand full of food every time you walk by the tank, lol. Its channels like yours K.A. that has help me come along way in caring for fish. Thank you for all your hard work and bringing us quality top notch content to be the best fish keepers we can be. Also, beautiful tanks and fish you got there.

    Thank you! This was so helpful. I have one question. I set up my tank the other week and added another brand of water conditioner and then a bacteria ball(not sure of name), and then left it overnight, then got two fish the next day. I then came across and watched your other videos and bought myself prime and stability. It’s now the next week both bottles have arrived. So should I start from now and add stability and Prime daily until tank establishes? How do I know my other brand products that I used on the first day of getting the tank won’t interfere with the new ones i’m about to use as i’m worried it will clash even though i have only used them once? Thank you so much again!

    I have mentioned it in a few videos…nothing to it really, just gradually increase your water change size by 10-20% each time. And keep an eye out for any signs of stress. They’ll get used to it fast, especially if you have hardy fish.

    I appreciate this video so much, thank you! Unfortunately I'm dealing with an ammonia spike though it's gone down significantly after yesterday's 50% water change. I saw another short of yours about fish in cycles where you mentioned I should avoid doing a water change during an ammonia spike, but here the advice is the do a water change and dose with prime and stability. How do you decide whether to water change or leave it be?

    Hey Kev, I have a series of questions for you ! 😭 I have south/central American cichlids in a 75 & did the fish in way of things…. I’m so paranoid about things that I’ll do almost daily water changes & am just curious as to how to let it cycle. Are they hardy enough to make it through that? Or how often should I do one. Sorry for the long message, I just really love these guys & don’t want them suffering! I use prime & stability as well. I knew you’d be the man to ask.

    Great advice I have super cloudy water on my 3 year old established tank. I cleaned my canister filter and left it spotless killing off the cycle and it’s been weeks. Large water changes has not helped. I’m sure Stability will help reduce the cycling time and help it get back to being crystal clear.

    Liked and subscribed!! ty so much for your help! I've been so stressed ... I have a green terror who is dealing with new tank syndrome due to my rookie mistake. I knew about my tank having to go though a cycle - for some reason it never clicked that it was the nitrogen cycle (i feel really dumb but at least im learning) also didn't know it could take so long I thought it was like a 3 day process. Anyways, after binge-watching videos on the nitrogen cycle (because it finally clicked) I came across your page! SUPER helpful and easy to understand content. i feel 100x's more confident in knowing what to do to help my fish now than I did two hours ago. gonna go self reflect on the whole blonde moment with the nitrogen cycle situation now.

    ive never used bacteria before but my grandmother gave me some tetra cleaning bacteria along with a ton of other chemicals which is awesome. i just did a water and filter change so i tried it out. couldnt hurt, it was free. I am also cycling a 5 gallon planted tank for shrimp and maybe some guppies. Ill test the water in a few days. It still had a lot of ammonia and other stuff in it when i checked last week.

    Let me tell you I jumped head first into this hobby bought a 25 gallon stocked with tetras Cory cats loaches and a Beta originally I had Siamese algae eaters but they both died. I’ve dealt with algae blooms, bacteria blooms. A tank I didn’t cycle right in the first place. I’ve spent upwards of 800 on this tank, but finally watching these videos I have clear water and happy energetic fishies. I swear fish keeping is like drugs I’m hooked(no pun intended)

    Loved the video. I have had a tank for a few years now. Unfortunately, when you think you know how it all works, something happens, like your filter goring out and having to replace it. Yep, happened to me. I moved my fish to another tank with the old tank water than, being dumb, I took all my decorations out and let them dry as I prepped and decided to change my substrate. I lost a lot of my beneficial bacteria found on my decorations. At the same time, I’m starting a new tank. Your videos have really helped me to remember the old and figure out what I need to do in certain situations. Thanks.
