My "New" Tank has some problems here...
Recently it has turn Cloudy for no reason. Normally within Hours, It will turn from Clear into Cloudy. After about 50% water change, it will slowly be Clear again.
Never moved the sand around. Nor the filter is brand new. The filter has been running for i would say 2 months.
Any Suggestions on wat i can do? Thanks! :D

the beginning of green water is cloudy but normally when you look at it, it dun look green. Do a heavy water change n reduce your lighting hours.

Hi S|aO_|aNG

recommendation is 3W / gallon for plants with high requirements. if yours is low maint, shld be able to get away with 2W / gallon. i think in litres is 1W / litre. is this correct guys?
