Sorry ignore that last post. I was thinking of another thread!!. Did you only add the stuffing and not remove any other media??. You did rinse it before putting it in right??Well that's not what i expected
Yes I did rinse it in old tank water. And I out it under my polishing pads so none floats out. An one rinsed of the sponges on the HOB filters. Did not rinse the media

Does it look any better yet, from earlier???
Negative sir. I'm just gonna give it time. And out and order in online for the purigen and that matrix stuff. I also need to buy a test kit been using the strips. Which are not accurate if I might add. Well maybe I'm reading it wrong. Lol

Yeah give it a few days and it'll be grand. I stripped out my canister on Sat and it was slightly cloudy until yesterday. You are reading those strips right, they are just not very accurate. API liquid freshwater master test kit(Ebay or Amazon) is what you want. A little pricey but will last ages.
It's possible, the test kit would tell you. If it is, it should settle down pretty quick....
It's much better today. Should be looking like your tank in no time

Are all those air bubbles coming out the return or do you agitate your water?
its coming from agitating the water. my HOB filters waterfall lol it goes away when the water level is high. but should i be worried? is there a better way of having the filters not do so?

No that's fine HOBs do that. Now if you had all that air coming out the can filter then it would be an issue.
I just took advice from a fellow aquariumnist. I was thinking about those things and it never crossed my mind to ask. So whats the difference between bulk stuffing and pillow stuffing. And where could I find it?
Thanks for the input by the way
Ooooh ok Kool. Lol felt like a dodged one there

You can get pillow stuffing anywhere. Walmart target etc. I get mine at hobby lobby a giant bag of it is less then $3
Next time you go looking for it ask for a bag of poly-fill
