peter m Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 The water in community tank is a little cloudy , small particules in it, tested water everything good, dont know if I should clean canister filter or wait to see if it clears, have reduced feeding and changed about one third of water. Have got clarity but dont know if to use or not. Any suggestions welcome. Fish seem very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Have you moved any of the substrate and stirred up any dirt, or is it a bacteria bloom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter m Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Syphoned bottom and moved driftwood slightly 2 days ago got siamese algae eater at auction, about 8cms, it does stir up bottom a bit but have 1600 lit external filter thought this would cope ok.

saczel Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Some granulated carbon to the filter can clear things up a bit while you see if things settle down. A bit of pre washing it first is a good idea, it can get a bit powdery and add it's own tint to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
