You have a great deal of air in your water along with too much carbon in your filters.(you don't need any in the canister...replace it with bio-media. cut your water changes in half and limit them to 25%. You might also want to seriously concider replacing the two wisper filters with a single AC70.
sorry for all the stupid question i changed the air problem i had my outlet for my canister blowing over the air stone it was blowing the air everywhere they sell a bag of what looks like little pvc rings for my canister is this what i need to put in there
I've found that an effective way to clear up a tank's water is simply stop feeding for a week or two while doing bi-daily water changes.
In fact, it's a great remedy for various water problems. People tend to over-feed their fishes, which is a top precursor to a long list of water quality issues.
