I have a 55 gallon tank that we just bought and set up on April 30 of this year. The tank has just finished it's cycle (about 1 week ago) and right before it was finished, I noticed that the water had a yellowish cast to it.
Here's what I have in my tank: 2 blue gouramis, 2 dwarf flame gouramis, 3 conga tetras, 1 rainbow shark, 1 pleco and 2 cory cats. I have a Penguin Bio-Wheel 350 filter and a heater, of course. The bottom is white and red rock with 3 castles---1 lg. and 2 sm.---and 2 artificial plants.
When I turn the light on in the aquarium, the water looks fine. But, if the light is off, it just looks yellow/green. The water is NOT murky/cloudy AT ALL. My fish seem to be doing fine. The tank does not sit near a window or any where near where light can hit the tank at all. I don't see any moss growing on anything in there, either....
Any ideas on what's causing this and how I can make my water look clean again?
Thanks in advance,
Karen
