Milky Film INSIDE Tank Glass (1 Viewer)

[axel06]

Here, once again, is my "used purchase" (RODI'd well water, no livestock, only coraline rock & crushed coral base) tank today. After adding Fritz 900 Turbo a week ago in triple dose (as recommended by Fritz), there is an unexplainable white milky film INSIDE the tank's glass. Ammonia still close to forest green API test & same test for my existing tank shows 0 ammonia=test chemicals ok...do I wait another week or 2 for Fritz bacteria to work or tear it down?
Anybody's thought, advise & help is greatly appreciated. Thank You!

1) What's your total water volume?
2) You mention you added, "In triple dose". How much exactly you used? 1oz will treat 25 gallons.
3) Water will be murky for a couple of days with proper dosage.
4) You should be good to go after 24 hours assuming your water parameters are OK. Which you just said Ammonia and Nitrates are zero, so the bacteria did its job.
Time to add some bioload to keep that bacteria going.
