I have had the Fluval 204 and the AC 110 up and running for about a week now and the tank isn't exceptionally clear like i thought it would be. I have 13 juvi. African cichlids (all under 3inches) 3 clown loaches a(all under 3 inches) and i pleco who is 4.5 inches. Any ideas? The tank is next to a window but light from the window never touches the tank. I can't frieking see what i am typing, i hate the new MFK.

Just tested water parameters: Nitrate 10, Nitrite 0, Hardness 15,0 Alkalinity 120, pH 8. They haven't been eating great ever since i switched their diet from just hikari cichlid gold to that and NLS and Bloodworms
I have 2 canister filters on my 55g and I put the large car wash sponge on the intake because I had some angels spawning and the water has never been clearer. It looks like a fish tank in HD. Give it a try! Just cut to fit and cut a hole for intake with razor. What do you have in your AC110?
I wen to the grocery store and none of the sponges are aquarium safe. I then went to Walmart and i could not find any car sponges. So, what sponges are aquarium safe and where can i find them?
Just a note, you shouldn't be keeping clown loaches in that water. They come from acidic, soft water, and almost all are wild caught.
SO what do you recommend i do with the clown loaches, and i just saw this morning that 2 out of my 3 have a small case of ick. Would a 20 gallon be better for them? It also has a crushed coral sub. Also, would a whisper 10-30 be able to power one hydro v. i want to add more bio filtration after i ready you sponge sticky.
Home Depot $1.97 no brand name. You would call it a tile/grout sponge at home depot.
Your tank is probably cloudy because it is new and you threw a bunch of fish in it to fast. I would have recommended 1 fish a week.
