Heavy Sludge On Sponges

I do a 75% water change every 5 days. You need to thin that tank out.

Wow! OK, that's a LOT more than I've ever read.

If you don’t mind please post your nitrates. I have to imagine it will be off the chart. I assumed you meant inches not feet.

It's reading around 10 on the Mars scale

I have a 125 with a single fish in it. It has 2x FX4 filters. I still do fin lvl water changes every third day. All three of my tanks get fin lvl (min 85%) every third day.

With as many fish and thier sizes I bet you would have to run 3x AC110'S and 3 FX6 and still have to do minimum 75% water changes daily.

We have the exact same tank and stand.

(oh, and ignore the Aqua Clear, lol, haven't used it in years, just haven't gotten around to throwing it out) For clarifier I use Seachem when needed, and Weiss Organics to help keep the algae in check when needed (though I'd rather have a couple mid-sized Algae Eaters)
