Question
is it true i can use "RID-X" septic tank bacteria,to releave persistent cloudiness in my 50gal. tank,with 5 large fish

Answer
Dear Tony,
Thank you for your question. I don't recommend it. Usually water is cloudy due to overfeeding. Adding chemicals does nothing to help that.
The only additive I recommend is Cycle, which is friendly bacteria, or biology. The friendly bacteria helps break down fish waste.
Please read my page for aquarium care and consider cutting back on the food.

I hope this helps. Write back if you want to discuss further.
Sincerely,
Nori
