Hi everybody!
I will go ahead and explain my setup and then the problem.
I've had two females for about 13 years. My current setup is a 125 gallon tank with a custom hanging basking pad. There is no gravel or substrate. The only thing in the aquarium is a smallish piece of driftwood. For filtration I have not one but two Fluval fx5 canister filters. In addition to that I also have a Coralife UV filter on the output of one of the Fluvals. I have had this setup for some time now.
For about the past 6 weeks to two months I have had non-stop issues with an intense odor and cloudy water. All the hoses coming from the filtration are clean and clear. The UV bulb is also new. The filters have been cleaned within the past 2 weeks.
For filter media, I use fluval biomax in filter 1 and filter 2, and zero carb in filter 1(along with the uv light), and charcoal in filter 2.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated. It's become an incredible amount of stress in my household.
Thank you in advance.
Mike
