Crystal Clear
Any advice on how to keep my fish tank water crystal clear?
Even though I frequently change my freshwater fishtank’s filter once a month, the water never gets back to that crystal clear clairity it was when I first added the water- It seems to have a permanant haze-Any advice? HOW do i keep the water crystal clear? The filter must not be enough- how often should I change the water and wash/replace the gravel?
I have a 10 gallon tank with fresh water goldfish…
Goldfish can be very dirty and your diet also will make a difference.
You did not mention your filter make or model or if you have more than one, so I will give you basic advice and point out that these points taken as a whole is great, however following as many as possible within your budget is fine.
*Proper Water changes; change water using a gravel vacuum up to 50% per week.
*Rinse filter media in used tank water, never tap and again as regularly as possible.
*Make sure ammonia, nitrites are 0
*Make sure you have a KH and GH of at least 100 ppm for goldfish
*A larger tank is better for goldfish; if possible a 40 or bigger would help
*More than one filters for redundancy.
*consider a good bio filter including the often misunderstood Sponge Filter (one of the best here according to side by side bio studies)
*consider the Redox Potential, lesser known parameter that affects water quality and clarity
*UV Sterilization, no cost effective for your size aquarium, however 90% effective for your problem in larger more cost effective aquariums.
*Better feeding procedures; Use foods with quality ingredients such as Sanyu or Hikari and avoid cheap foods like TetraFin that mostly “pass right on thru”
Also feed what the fish will consume in under three minutes twice per day.
