I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 independent filters (no bottom filters though). In that tank I probably have 8 live plants, 2 red tail sharks, plecostamis (misspelling), 9 neons, Betta and 2-3 other fish. I have had the tank up and running with fish in it for about 2-3 months. However, during that time it always appears cloudy. Tested the water and it said that our nitrates / nitrite levels were off and that we should try adding algie. Added Biospira, it will fix the tank for about 3-4 days then BAM, back to cloudy.
I am hesitant to do a water change because the water is so bad where I live that I am scared it will mess up the tank even more.
Aside from Hiring someone to come in and get it good. Are there any ideas to get me back on track with the tank?
