Filter

I have had my tank running for a few months now. Going pretty well but still a little cloudy at times. I change about 20% water every week and am wondering if I have enough filtration. Can I swap to a bigger filter without messing anything up?

If you swap to another filter leave the old one running so you don't start a cycle all over again. Your filter that's running now has your beneficial bacteria if you remove it and put a new, clean filter on your going to start another cycle.

So bottom line? Add the new filter and keep the old running for awhile.

Yes. Transfer all the media from the smaller filter or even better would be to run both.
