Seriously, when you use ketapang extract ... you wonch be able to see your so-called "cloudy water" .... It would be blackish water ... Try ketapang extract loh .... Good for fish and you wonch KPKB about water being cloudy ... tiobo ???

aiyah why use ketapang to cover up the cloudiness..its only a temporary solution, to solve the problem, get to the root of the problem

hi bros,

my tank is a matured tank, been running for some time liao. i understand about the water change stressing the fish but had no choice because the water was really cloudy, i also add black water after every water change(30% weekly) i was concerned because the cloudyness was visible after the adding of black water, something that does not happen b4......not i wanna KPKB, i wanna find out if any experts here know the reason so i can get to the root of the problem, not temparory solutions......

many thanx!!!

agreed.. makes more sense than adding ketapang.. but usually after a while the cloudy water will clear up..

bro, although not too sure for ur question..... but i have a n opinion here, maybe u can try it out..... since u already do abt 100 % water change, do not change anymore..... let it run for two or three more days, the water should be clear by then..... cause i'm facing this problem too.....

and, try not to use meds for ur aro..... i would suggest put in only anti-chlorine and salt every water change..... this is what i do to my little Green now and she looks alrite at all......

just my 2 cents......

Regards,
Ryan....
