We probably should have done that but they thought the good bacteria was a good thing to keep & didn't think it would take this long to cycle through the water clearing. When I bought the new aquarium I only kept 25% of the water & have made several 50% changes along with the chemicals. Even tested my tap water to make sure the problem wasn't coming from there. The fish experts at the feed store were surprised it has taken this long to balance the water & added a heater to the tank a few weeks ago cause the water was too cold for the good bacteria to grow. That was what really helped. Will turn the heat down when Py comes home. Set it to 77 & we finally have made progress
