[AquaticLife] Re:smelly water
Ok guys, where shall i start from…..well the tap water smells ok….the bad smell is only for a few seconds after opening the cover in the morning…..so i tried something out last nite…..i kept the covers open the whole nite and guess what? not only the smell said good bye but the water now is much more clearer than before…….i just cant believe my eyes and my nose too…..hehe..no more bad smell…..but the smell is there again if i close the cover just for a couple of hours……..is there any gas escaping from the water which can also be the reason for the cloudiness? since the gas cannot escape when the cover is closed, most of the gas remains dissolved in the water the whole nite making it cloudy, do u think i’m right here? about the water parameters,havent checked them lately but….. the pH is 6.4.sometimes even 6.2….. and all other readings are ok most of the time. there is activated carbon in the filter medium ever since the tank was set up…..abt any dead fish in the tank,well that might be a possibility, so i checked but found nothing…….well i have to admit the fact that i dont really do a good job in vacuuming the gravel every week like i should……i need to concentrate on this more…….lol…
