I've had a 24 gallon nano cube since 12/08 and have had an increasing challenge keeping it clear.
I have live sand and change 25% of the water weekly. I clean and replace the sponges and change the charcoal bags every 3 weeks. I've added crabs and snails and have on average 7 fish. We do 2 to 3 feeding of pellets a day which are consumed in 5 minutes. Also have had issues with brown algae.
Even after the weekly water cleaning it never really gets clear.
Is there any alternative filters available or skimmers that I should look into?
