Aquarium water changes, HELP!
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2017 11:20 am
I have had a turtle tank for about a month now, this is the first one I have ever had. Recently I cleaned the tank out with water and the filter tubes with a water/vinegar solution. Afterwards, the tank became so cloudy that I cannot see through it. I tried replacing half the water and that seemed to help a bit. I went to the local pet store and they told me it was because I used vinegar and cleaned the filter too well. He gave me a bottle of bacteria to put in the tank that is supposed to treat the tank for seven days, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. He told me it was OK to put feeder fish, for my turtle, in the tank as well, and in two days all 24 of the fish were dead. My turtle seems to be trying to keep his head out of the water as well for the most part. Please help, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
