Ok so I have a 75 gallon tank that I've had up and running for about a month with African Cichlids. I have an Emperor 400 and a BioWheel Penguin 200 filter that go over the back of the tank. Common sense tells me that's plenty of filtration but to me, the water looks ever so slightly cloudy most of the times. It could just be my OCD kicking in, or maybe I'm just not used to the white crushed coral in combination with bright white LED lighting. Everyone else says the water looks clear but me personally, I think it's cloudy.
I've been thinking about adding a cannister filter, even though I don't think it's probably mandatory, but I've always been told there's no such thing as too much filtration. My question is this; is it really worth the extra $150-200 to add a cannister filter or is there better ways to spend the money? I'm all for buying the filter if it's justifiable but I really don't wanna waste money.
