Green Water Turns White In Color, Green Water, Filtration and Tank Setup. Options

[goldie]

Hi bros, can anyone tell me what is the problem?

I've managed to brew green water in my toyogo tub. After getting the intense green color for abt 7 days, I did a water change and seed abt 10% of the green water and added anti chlorine crystals and baking soda into the new water. However, the next day the whole tub water turns white and the fishes and stressed out!

May I know What's the possible cause? Overdose of baking soda?

Tks.

Thanks HB. Yeah, maybe my baking soda has expired. Will try out using new BS and se how it turns out again.

I normally buy BS in bulk size from Phoon Huat @ Sims Place (their "main" branch).

I suspect my last bottle is expired, however. A friend has bought it for me at Phoon Huat's AMK branch. They didn't have the 5KG pack but the 500g bottle only. The 1st time I dose it, I find it strange that the BS didn't dissolve readily. I actually need to stir to blend which is strange as all previous BS I had dissolve before they reach the tank's floor. I could only blame an expired (or near expiring) BS.

To play it safe, I went back to Sims Place and gotten a new bottle. These dissolves instantly like it should.

Go figure.
