Exactly one week ago i changed 50 litres of water from my 180L planted tank, only this time rather than pouring the water directly in the tank i poured it in the filter to minimize sand disturbances.
I understand know that was a terrible mistake because the next day i had a dense fog in the water.
Looks like a bacterical explosion and i wonder if after a full week it is still ok to have this situation rampant.
I used reverse osmosis water properly fixed with SERA mineral salt to get the correct GH-KH.
I'm concerned for fishes and plants health...the fog is so thick i can't see trough a 40cm deep tank(the water was crystal clear before this incident).
I'm unsure on what to do next to fix the issue.
Water values are PH 6.9, GH 6, KH 6, NO2 0, NO3 5mg/l, PO4 traces, water temp 25°
I've got 30 paracheirodon axelrodi and 20 red cherries in this tank.
Any hint?
