Our aquarium wasn't as clear as we liked it the first time we sifted through the rocks and stuff. So we decided to start over and redo everything and clean it all over again. After we cleaned it it was much clearer and we were satisfied. When we did the ammonia test for the first time it was pretty bad with a 1.0. Being on the green side meant the tank was not habitable for our fish. Our nitrate test was pretty good at a 5.0, which was an yellow-orange color and that means fishes are able to live in our tank. Since our nitrate result was fine we didn't have to clean our tank again. But in order to fix the ammonia problem, we did have to add some bacteria into the water. We did add bacteria to fix the ammonia and our tank is pretty clear as of today.
(ours was a little lighter)
