Jul 4, 2007 #12 really? hmm well if i only do that 50% w/c a week my water is clear but not crystal, how it is when i do my usual water change scedule. so thats why i asked what filter would be the best for that? or would a sump/ wet dry be the best?

Your water should look like this all the time. if not, re-evaluate your feeding
