carbon

Hey guys I have a brackish tank with a moray eel since I feed fresh food the tank gets a little cloudy I do 2 water changes a week and clean up food daily. I also run 2 filters on the tank.
I was wondering if I use carbon would that keep the water clearer.

Yes, It will trap fine particles within its matrix.

If its fine food particulates from a large species, id deploy plenty of floss or sock trapping first, & possibly get some sifters attached to the system to assist with some pre processing as well. Just to assist.

Ha I just added that myself. Do you think a powerhead would help to stir up stuff so the filters could grab it. Thanks guys

How did you cycle this tank? How large is the tank & how large is the fish? Is it alone? How much & how often are you feeding?
