Cloudy and Foamy Water? - foamy little einsteins
I have an aquarium 1 gallons. It is a system of pumps and a system of gravel filter. I boil my water and get to room temperature. I have the tank washing and drying. I washed the rocks again. It was Saturday. I left the pump in the night. I put my fish in the water yesterday and today begins to be overcast and a little foam on top. What is the problem and what can I do to solve this problem?

Foamy Little Einsteins Cloudy And Foamy Water?

If there are no fish, change all their water. Never boil water before using it for an aquarium. Boiling water will concentrate the nitrates and other organic compounds not mentioned, reduces the dissolved oxygen, creating a bloom of bacteria and the bubbles of the foam. With dechlorinated tap water / conditioner is all that is necessary. You can not, or can even be a bacterial bloom, ammonia, however, what is really on the ball, and a stink tank.
Replace 1 / 2 water (if you do not fish) and 1 / 4, if you fish. This should also help to solve the problem.
I do not agree with the first poster. The fish was yesterday and the water is cloudy and frothy, too early bloom for a bacteria. Ammonia poisoning is in this way, containers manufactured before the cycle begins to start.
By thoroughly washing all that you have completely deleted all the beneficial bacteria that normally keep the water in good condition (if it was originally). The tank is not ready for fishing in my opinion.
In all reality 1GAL tank is not suitable for most fish. Even better would be a betta in a 5gal. For smaller tanks / containers'd better the water quality problems occur.
To solve the problem, research process and the preservation of fish in general, the investment in a larger tank and try again. If this can not happen, then changes daily 40% water () with dechlorinated tap water.
When you soap tanks or rock-soap that could wash his resedue. The other problem may be that your bike tank, now that you added the fish. This will syndrme as a new tank. A gal tank should not exceed 2 very small fish in it and in many cases, overcrowding is still the size of the reservoir.
Do not know how to fish you have it I suggest water changes (25-50%) daily for the next few days until it cleared.
Also do not eat fish every day. Only a small amount of food every two days, until the problem disappears. To kill the compressor and water with food particles and waste 100% faster than they provide what many beginners think that a small amount of food cruel.
The fish is eaten until it is completed, which in many cases more than the allowed storage environments. This is the fastest, the most common cause fish to die, especially in new tanks.
At the bottom of the tank is in the process flow. The haze is a bacterium in the water and if it sounds bad, it's not. This is the good bacteria in the tank to be healthy. You need to change about 1 / 2 of water per day for the next 2-3 weeks, while the tank cycles. No need to boil the water first, so make sure you some chlorine-out. Here is a little more about what is happening in your tank what to expect in the coming weeks and how you deal with it.
