Had the same problem. I fixed it. By taking fish and plants out. Used a heavy dose of h2o2 let it run for a day. Did water change 80%. Installed filter floss and safe start plus. It seemed to work
are these white particles harmful to my fish?? as my fish are always fine and happy from the last 2 months, never had any problem, should I worry about their health? also white particles can be seen when I switch on the light otherwise one can't notice it at all
I do have the same problem in a 400 liters malawi cichlid tank; 2 sunsun 704 canisters (2000 liters/hour flow rate), regular water changes every other week, sand substrate regurarly siphoned, water paramenters are perfect. no clue what's going on or how I can fix. Any suggestion? Did you fix it? Thanks
don’t siphon your sand. If you have a deep sand substrate bed the bacteria underneath said sand will help filter your tank. When you siphon up the sand your releasing a lot of yucky in the water column and preventing bacteria underneath from getting fed by taking away the waste. Ad some pathos to your tank to help get rid of bad stuff like ammonia. They’re really good at removing waste from the water column. Hope this can help a year later. Lol.
