Effect of glut in Aquarium

[abartar]

I added glut in my 4' tank but the water turned milky the next day. What could be the reason? I added 4 ml of 25% glut first time and the water was milky next morning. The tank settled the subsequent day. After 2 days I added only 2ml of glut and again the water turned milky the following morning. Luckily all the fauna & flaura are fine. I don't think it's to do with quantity of glut.

glut do not turn water to cloudy. it is due to some other reason.

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=102&start=30 first of all your dosing is wrong, you cant dose that 25% you need to make the solution!!!

4 ML? you have to be lucky that your tank didnt die. That cloudyness is cos of the cycling process starting over. Nothing to panic. not yet atleast. Read up on Glut and then dose your tank.

Does it mean that glut killed all the nitrfying bacteria and the cloudiness was due to bacteria boom. Even after 2 ml the water was cloudy

Glut is a VERY strong disinfectant used in hospitals to sterilize surgical items. It is possible that you killed the bacteria in there and it started over.

can i ask where did you get the 4ml dosage from?

[abartar]

It was as per advise from Rajiv and I referred to the viewtopic.php?f=18&t=102&start=30 topic.

4 ml is not a high dosage for your.

Cloudy water means your tank is not recycled till now. So dose only 1 ml in alternate days for next 30-40 days. After that increase the dose.

Thanks. I am still wondering if glut will kill the beneficial bacteria than how come there will be bacterial boom next morning - leading to cloudy water.

BTW, what about your water changing schedule?
