Do the tigers get cloudy eye ? One of the most frequent problem when bioload is high, nitrate is high is this cloudy eye problem. Most tigers are susceptible to it.

So far ok for me , no cloudy eyes incident . I focus a lot on filtration , using OHF , IOS , Internal Filter & 2 canisters to run the tank . On top of that , I do WC at 30% at least 2 times a week .

Right now , all of them are between 6 to 12 inches . My worry is when they grow bigger , problems will start to surface .

But 40 tigers, that's a lot ..... u ever measure ur pH ? quite a feat to be able to keep them constant at 7 , considering the waste they produce

I used to measure once a week , abt 6.5 to 7 . Did it for about 6 months , nothing abnormal took place . Now lazy to do it liao , haven't been measuring it for more than 2 months already , but still repeat the WC procedures religiously .
