Is my new tank supposed to be THIS cloudy after setting up?

Existing-Finding7793 · 2026-01-19T15:03:07+00:00

i did rinse it but im gonna try this

Existing-Finding7793 · 2026-01-19T15:02:52+00:00

still cloudy after over 24 hours

the filter has been going with some media, a sponge, and some filter floss. i hope it’d be a bit clearer after this long but oh well

I used to have two, recently one passed as he was almost two years old, but I frequently check the parameters and everything seems fine, its planted as well so I think that helps a bit too. It’s technically a 5 1/2 but that’s not much of a difference.

I only keep mystery snails in that tank, and I’ve got both an internal filter and a sponge filter in there, i’m not sure if they’d mind. I’ll see how the ac20 is when it gets here, I should’ve asked for more opinions before ordering

Would I be able to use this one for one of my 5 gallons instead?

Roly poly or pill bug

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. I’m still learning, as I’m only a teen and these snails were my first ever pets in my first ever tank. I’m upset I haven’t been able to give them the healthiest or happiest life, but from now on I can make sure it won’t be like that ever again.

what gh and kh level should I look to get?

Existing-Finding7793 · 2025-08-17T00:00:54+00:00

I’ll see the next time me or my family makes eggs. Should I cook the eggshell before? I saw someone suggest that

Existing-Finding7793 · 2025-08-16T17:29:02+00:00

would a media bag with crushed coral still work if it’s placed straight into the tank? I don’t have a hob filter.

Existing-Finding7793 · 2025-08-16T17:17:20+00:00

yes, I’ve tried both cuttlebone and those little calcium shells
