I love Royal Plecos but damn....

...they create nonstop saw dust debris all over my tank, even after 90% water changes. I am doing water changes of a minimum 60% every other day while having to rinse out my filter pads each time.

They do have a really tough bite

Need better mechanical filtration and or more gph. Try adding ac110 stacked with filter padding.

That is a lot of stock, that's your problem... Try an fx5 or another sump.
