i cant seem to get my water in my 100 gal clear, i do water changes once a week, and i recently installed a timer for my lights as to no run them too long, the ph is a little low , 6.5 and nitrates/ites are low just above 0 and i dont have a problem with amonia, im currently running a filstar canistr filter plus an under gravel filter with 2 powerheads, because if the fish i have to keep limestones to keep the ph up, without it the ph drops, any ideas what im doing wrong or any way to clear up the water??

i do about 15 percent a week, im running a rena filstar XP3, i have a 6'' oscar 10'' JD and a 5'' Green Severum, and a Rhino Pleco, i feed them, 4 cubes of frozen bloodworms once a day, and maybe once a week some feeders
I would say so, I have moved to a planted tank, but still make 10% daily water changes! I had 6 large Silver dollars with a Green Terror & 2 Large Clown Loach & they were messy buggers, But i managed to keep on top of things & my water remained clear & clear of deadly toxins!! But hey thats my way & I am just trying to help..... try it, it may work
