Water is opaque in colour. :?
Lots small waste moving around at all levels in the tank. Not using a heater. 3 oranda and 1 plant in the tank.
Bought a new Rena Compact Aquarama® 60 http://www.rena.net/cgi-bin/trans.pl/en/products/rena_range/comp_aquarama_60.shtml This has the following filter, Rena Filstar iV, pic 1 or 2 @ http://www.rena.net/cgi-bin/trans.pl/en/products/rena_range/rena_filstar.shtml
Started tank with UK tap water and used old filter along side new filter to help build up bacteria. Is the old filter causing me problems? It's not a pumped filter but one that draws air through it.
Tank has been running for a 8 days now. Done a 1/4 water change on 8th day using syphon to remove waste from sand and put some activated carbon in the filter.
