Habitat - Indoor :: new tank syndrome

[jyu67]

I recently upgraded to a new tank, used my old filter and media but a new water.

Not sure if i'm getting the "new tank syndrome" but i'm getting very murky water (which never happened in the old tank).

Should I just wait for it to self regulate ammonia levels and let it go naturally? Or should I be using chemicals?

You should be fine just letting it take it's course. Do some partial water changes to keep the ammonia levels down a bit. Before you start using chemicals, I would suggest buy a test kit to get a clearer picture of what's going on.

If you are getting an ammonia spike you can use Seachem's Prime which is a water conditioner that also de-toxifies ammonia.
