I hate my camera I need a new 1

[Flying fox 6523]

Well fishy folks I got it done "FOR NOW" but needs a bit more adjusting 
but for the time being I got the 75 mostly redone AGAIN , & this is it.

Here's everything I've done to get it where it is from start to finish 
New look on the 75 gal aquarium (take 2) < video is about 25 mins 
but to show & explain everything & no editing it is what it is.

Not sure what sort of camera you're using, but even a refurbished iPhone can provide an excellent HD picture. Normally you can adjust your phone plan to cover a new phone. Often you can transfer your number as well. Sometimes a local cell phone store will explain the serial numbers needed to guarantee an effective transition. From the phone, you can directly upload videos to YouTube without needing to process anything through an editor.

I find that shorter videos -- 2-3 mins -- tend to work best when explaining basic things. Sometimes I ramble on for 5-6 minutes. But typically, folks have about an average 60-second attention span. The exception to that is if you're teaching something very clearly.

I have a tablet, but not a phone I can use if that will do any better with the 
lighting, cause the webcam I have does a good job without a light on where 
it sucks when a light is on.

After I got the tank filled I seen it turning cloudy so I did some 
looking into it & well from what I see it's a bacterial bloom, but 
now the next day with the light off over night it's thined down.

Have You seen the video ? if not, take a look at it at the last 10
mins & let me know if I'm right & what do I do about it, I've 
heard to just leave it & let it solve itself,  how long will that be ?

It's just heterotrophic bacteria. Use a couple capfuls of PRIME, and makes sure your water has lots of flow. It clears.

Your tanks needs healthy Autotrophic bacteria colonies to cycle the tank. Where there are extra, unsettled minerals / etc. then sometimes Heterotrophic bacterial blooms occur. They can produce Ammonia (hence use PRIME to detoxify Ammonia), and H. bacteria tends to use excess oxygen (hence use extra air stones, etc.)

It clears up within 24-48 hrs. Not typically a major issue.

I don't have any prime, not even prime time ha ha ha 
so being that's out now what do I need to do for it ?
the tank has 2-320 gph power heads with air on them
they have enough flow that goes from 1 end to the other.

You’re great with flow. What do you use to treat / dechlorinate tap water?

Aqua safe, I put like 10 cap full, THIS TIME
when I do a water change I do 5.

I just did a video on my channel of what 
the 75 gal looks like after 48 hrs. of no lights on 
it starting to look clear, 48 hrs. later after total rescapeing

If it’s cleared up, all good! It’s _possible_ that the bacteria in that bottle may be _causing_ your cloudiness. I use API, Prime, or Fritz Complete.

That's what I figured it was too, cause if 
you watched the 1st video of what I used
B-4 I added the water for fertilizer, may 
have what made it cloud up like it did.

So being everything was bleach cleaned 
I'd say this is like setting up a new tank ?
so it has to recycle itself all over again.

I definitely do not recommend bleach cleaning.

Believe me I didn't want to, but to kill what pest snails 
in the tank & on everything I had no choice, BUT I didn't 
put none IN the tank, I did the gravel, the bigger rocks 
EVERYTHING that I took out was bleached & (HEAVILY)
rinsed off, no bleach in the tank itself. . .

Did you use an entire bottle of dechlorinator to treat everything before you readded?

That probably crushed your autotrophic bacteria colonies. What are your parameters? Any Ammonia? Any Nitrites?

When you bleach, it is important to dechlorinate thoroughly. Yes, most all evaporates. But that stuff is lethal.

How are your fish acting? If they’re Ok, that’s a relieving sign.

No, I put 10 caps like it said for a 75 gal, I took all the fish out &
haven't put them back in yet, I always keep it empty when I break 1
down like this for at least a week for everything to get stable.

Ok. Your Shiners are set to ship out tomorrow!

I don't have no way of telling right now, I have to get a test kit
which will be this coming Wens.

Okay, I'll call the po to let them know there on the way
from where again ?
