Trouble Shooting Water Quality Issues
Note: Most water quality problems are caused by introducing too many inhabitants at one time or over feeding.
Add inhabitants 1-2 at a time and feed only what can be consumed within 2 minutes.
Below are some common problems that can arise with some helpful tips to assist you:
Problem Possible cause
Cloudy tank This can typically occur during initial set up as a result of
the biological balance.
Lethargic aquarium This often results during initial set up or at other times when
inhabitants the water quality is poor. When there are high levels of
ammo¬nia and nitrites, the animals tend to instinctively stay
closer to the bottom and conserve their energy by moving less.
It is hard for them to breathe in poor water conditions.
Smelly water
When there are high levels of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, in
addition to cloudy water, a foul smell can result.
Green water Green water is caused by the growth of algae. Algae requires
light and nutrients to grow. In order to curtail its growth, prevent
exposure to natural day light by keeping the aquarium away from
windows. If the situation does not remedy itself within 3 weeks, it
is possible that the green water is occurring for another reason.
Filter cube is making noise Water level is too low.
Noticeable reduced Filter media needs cleaning/replacing.

Suggested Solutions
This can typically occur during initial set up as a result of the biological
balance trying to establish itself in the aquarium or as a result of overfeeding.

If you are not sure why you are having a problem with your aquarium, bring
a sample of the aquarium water, as well as a sample of the tap water to your
pet store so that they can test it to determine the cause and guide you to an
appropriate course of action.
Thereafter, you can obtain your own Nutrafin Test Kits to test the water at
your own convenience.
Fill water to the maximum water level, as indicated on the filter rim adaptor.
Verify filter/foam pads. Clean or replace if necessary. To ensure constant presence
of beneficial bacteria, do not replace all filtration media at the same time.
