My water parameters are spot on perfect yet there is a, well my water looks dingy or a tad less than the preferred "crystal" clear. I haven't done anything other than a couple of pwc's since I added fish. I am presently running an Aquaclear 50 with 2 sponges and 1 bag of rings and a TopFin 40 with just the white filter floss, no carbon (I was under the impression this would be ok for water polishing??????) I am VERY reluctant to add any water medications to my water other than Prime. The buckets i use for my pwc's have never had anything in them other than water going INTO the tank; i use another old bucket for outgoing water. When i vac, i lightly vac the top1/4 inch of gravel...i'm just trying to give as much info upfront as possible...my water has been like this for a couple weeks now and, well, it's irking me to no end!
