Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I just set up a 65 gallon tall tank for my African. Cichlids and I’m using an aqua clear 70 and it is having a tough time keeping the water clear. I bought an extension for the intake tube since it’s a tall tank but I can’t even make out how this filters current runs. It only sucks up debris if it is right on the intake, some stuff floats by within millimeters and just keeps floating. I’ve tried it on the high and low setting, no results. I’ve even added water clarifier and still no results. I cycled the tank before adding fish and everything was good until about 3-4 days after I added fish then water got really cloudy. I read that it is the bio filter eating particles in the water and that it would clear up after 1-2 days and it’s been almost 2 weeks. Help LOL!
