I get the feeling this is not adequately filtering the water. It's a 40 gal tall planted tank with an eclipse hood ( the lighting is a retrofit 65watt pc ). there's always some amount of particulates in the water, and I've had greenwater for months, which is ever so slowly clearing up. at the moment I have the biowheel submerged in the corner and have been running extra filter floss in the biowheel container to try and pull out more particulates.
would an eheim aquaball filter provide enough filtration for the 40 gal tall planted tank? which size? I can't completely ditch the eclipse hood because I still need the lighting, although someday I will get batter lighting, but that may be a ways off and I may do that when i get a bigger tank.... at least a year or 2 away...
any other reccomendations? can I use a canister filter without (or only slightly) modifying the eclpipse hood?
Thanks
