Yeast Mixture In Tank

Well, I'll put this here because I figure only the plant people will have come across this problem.

SO, Like a TOTAL IDIOT, the other day, I refilled my DIY CO2 setup. And then the phone rang. I was in such a hurry that I just set the bottle down after setting it up - I usually tie it to the stand to ensure that it doesn't fall over. You can guess what happened. I forgot about it for the night and the next morning I woke up to a tipped over bottle with slightly less than half of its contents having spilled into the tank (that makes about 1 liter that went in the tank). This happened three days ago or so.

I've been doing a lot of water changes. Probably 4 a day. The tank has got pygmy cories and ADF's and its a 10g.

My question is: how long do you guys think it will take to clear the problem up? It started off cloudy and if I'm a little late with a w/c it gets cloudier.

Also, I'm curious as to if its really bothering the fish. They don't *seem* to mind...and pygmies are pretty sensitive. What is it that makes it bad for the fish? I have done so many water changes that I'd imagine that I got out almost all of the original "gunk" and fermented water...

Any had this happen to them? I did a search but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks for the reply.

I do know that the water changes will work, I guess I was just curious as to how long it usually takes to clear up and what it is specifically about the yeast being in there that makes it "bad" for the fish, ie, does it really bother them or does it provide more of an aesthetic nuisance.

Thanks OG. I did that the first and second day. The problem is still here, however, so I guess I'll continue doing large, frequent water changes.

When you say "and depending on what you use for food, that could cause a bigger problem", what exactly do you mean?

Yah, thanks I've been rinsing the filters and its starting to get better This was taken a day or two ago....so its a little bit clearer now.

How long has it been cloudy and how much went in? In shouldn't hurt much of anything (I had about 1 liter go in with pygmy cories and they were fine). I ended up doing 3 30-50% water changes each day, making sure to gravel vac really well because it caused some weird stuff to form in the glosso in the bottom.

It took 6-7 days before it looked like normal again.

So, the answer, I suppose, is do water changes until you never want to pick up a syphon again
