Cloudy water and mould on soil!

[whitechicks7]

Recently got the time to start another 2ft planted.

As usual I started the cycling process with Ada soil.

Base layer of Ada Amazonia
Add on with ocean free pond bacteria
Last layer of Ada Amazonia

Weekly dose of ocean free bacteria.
After the first week, mould started growing on the soil..
I added a few plants to speed up the process in the end my plants also got affected with the mould.

Now already 2 weeks plus , tank is still cloudy and particles flying around.

Filtration using eheim 2213 with me aqua media.
One extra hob with just sponges to clear the particles.

I put in a few sae and Otto.. But still same.
Ammonia Lvl fluctuate 0.25 to 0ppm




Can anyone advise.

Hi,

If I'm not wrong it should be bacteria growing. It's good sign. cloudy water should go away soon.. Maybe can no need to dose your weekly bacteria already and see how it goes.
