Here is how I do it.how do you clean your filters? what do you rinse them in. +1 to the AC110. i run 2 on my 180.
Yeah its a glass tank but when looking from above the tank it still looks cloudy. When I had an oscar in there a while back the glass and water always stayed clear with my ac 110s so glass isn't the issueDid it look like that when you first filled it? I'm wondering if there might be some chemical hazing to the acrylic itself that is easier to see once filled with water. There are all sorts of chemicals that might do that. IMO- this seems more likely of an explanation over your water being like that for over a year.
OK will do. I usually add conditioner by the bucket not all at once to the tank. And how about my pothos, just throw it in there?i am at loss then, looks like bacterial bloom, this caused by either un-cycle tank or not enough bio filtration. put the AC110 on, leave the canister alone. do not clean for at least 2 months. AC every other week. and do not over feed. also put a pre-filter on the AC intake. this will need to be cleaned every water change. check perajms and do the water changes, i would do every other day, 90% , tank primed for size of tank not water replacing *(add before adding new water, not after) until perams run good and no more more cloudy 2 days after water change.
