Thanks for the replies, guys.
I shall indeed give it some more time then; thank you. This water has been "messed with" -- between medications for a misdiagnosis of Ich, AmmoniaSafe, Stability, Prime etc etc -- even from day one, and it just seemed to me that a bacterial bloom just wouldn't last this long, nor would New Tank Syndrome. Either way, I realize the fish I picked to keep in this aquarium aren't helping the situation with their release of gases and ammonia and such, but I am dedicated to the raising and thriving of these fancytail goldies, and would like them to have crystal clear water to swim in...
As for the feeding suggestion, I really don't overfeed them; they do consume the amount I provide in a couple of minutes or so. I do notice though that there is a storm of debris floating around the tank, mainly their waste products, on a regular basis, and so that's where I am beginning to think these filters aren't doing their jobs of sucking this stuff in...
Would anyone recommend doing a water clarifier at this point, or adding Seachem's Purigen to my filter...or should I just wait?
