There are other reasons for cloudiness he failed to mention. I recently had a cloudiness issue in my tank. And it was due to ammonioa. A feeder had wedged itself under a rock, and as it decayed over a few days, unnoticed, it let off ammonia, which clouds water in high concentrations. The breakdown of natural materials such as dead fish and aquatic plants are a cause of cloudiness as well. A % water change is needed, per tank size, and monitoring of ammonia till the issue is resolved.
this guy is smart
i like him
photosynthesis
guy is fine.dont comment if you dont know shit about fish@mrnew…. tank is fine for the fish depending on the filtration..i hate know it alls…go lock yourself in a room and never talk to anybody ever..it would make me happy atleast.and thats just my opinion
wow that tank is a lil small for that fish!!!
I think hes still drunk and hi from the night before. If I walked in that place and he greeted me would walk right back out lol
to prevent this problems fr happens. 1st, if u do 1/2 or more water change don’t clean or change out new media the same time, only rinse 50% of ur media then wait 1 to 2 wks then change them out if the water is clear also don’t feed the fishes for at least 1 to 2 days. The best and safe way to clear cloudy green water is to take some of the dirty debris fr ur other tanks filter or fr ur favorite fish store put them straight into ur tank and watch it clear up naturaly.
this guy is a smack head
dont listen to him
try to advoid chemicals
keep your tank away from window’s eg.. sunlight and just change your fu ckin water 10% weekly rather than 30% P/F and wallllaaahh!!!!!!!!

@gianolrac Hello! You need to add one drop to each gallon of tap water…

Also, crush coral can cause the water to be cloudy.
*physics … nerves control fingers
too much biology? so really you have no idea what happens into a fish tank if you’re scared of the word ‘biology’ and would use chemicals to clear up a not so common (or should not be) and serious problem. I have been amused by other videos but this is actually sad, this hobby is supposed to enlarge your knowledge about biology, chemistry, psychics etc. That poor Arowana.. Mr. get yourself some good literature and quit being a disgrace for this wonderful hobby. Over and out!
He look like a drunk pervert……
I have a question, I have a 5 gallon tank with 5 cardinal tetras, and every 3 weeks i syphone out 25% of the water.I was wondering on top of that do i have to change the whole tank;s water and scub it all down? I have a filter that works really well and never any cloudy water.
I’ve kept 5 tanks and bred fish for 10 years, never once had a tank go like this. Change 20% of my water maybe once a year (at most). This advice is rubbish. (see other videos from this guy) the whole process is just wrong.
db uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh lmao he says UH! so much like he dosnt have any idea wat hes tlking abt?? hmm
try to take out your fish and re-cycle your tank then let it sit a couple of days.
Just Clean The Tank.
