Metric is great, unfortunately I didn't learn it till I was older.
I'm just saying it's usually best to stock by types of fish, not by the length. We used to say 1 inch of fish per gallon. Most of us no longer use that method.
Oscars for instance are poop machines. High bioload. So a 2" Oscar does not poop equivalent to two 1" Neon Tetras.
I hope I'm making sense.
Does it look like algae in the water ? Like a Green Water issue ?
Purigen in the filter may help. If it's a type of algae, either a 3 day blackout or reducing light to 6 hours daily for now might help ?
It sounds like your doing all the right things.
When you rinse your filter pads are you making sure to rinse them in used tank water or in dechlorinated tapwater ?
Do you have any decor that could be adding color to the water?
Hmmm
