Well that's not what i expected. Is there still particles in the water??Ok so I woke up this morning and this is what I saw. *sighs* my head is spinning right now
Sorry ignore that last post. I was thinking of another thread!!. Did you only add the stuffing and not remove any other media??. You did rinse it before putting it in right??Well that's not what i expected. Is there still particles in the water??

Does it look any better yet, from earlier???Yes I did rinse it in old tank water. And I out it under my polishing pads so none floats out. An one rinsed of the sponges on the HOB filters. Did not rinse the media
Yeah give it a few days and it'll be grand. I stripped out my canister on Sat and it was slightly cloudy until yesterday. You are reading those strips right, they are just not very accurate. API liquid freshwater master test kit(Ebay or Amazon) is what you want. A little pricey but will last ages.Negative sir. I'm just gonna give it time. And out and order in online for the purigen and that matrix stuff. I also need to buy a test kit been using the strips. Which are not accurate if I might add. Well maybe I'm reading it wrong. Lol
It's possible, the test kit would tell you. If it is, it should settle down pretty quick....Is it an ammonia spike? How would I know?

Are all those air bubbles coming out the return or do you agitate your water?
Just out of curiosity.. why did you go with a pillow instead of just bulk stuffing? I would be a little worried about flame retardants, bacteria inhibitors, etc.
No that's fine HOBs do that. Now if you had all that air coming out the can filter then it would be an issue.
You can get pillow stuffing anywhere. Walmart target etc. I get mine at hobby lobby a giant bag of it is less then $3
I was just calling it bulk stuffing, pillow batting, pillow stuffing etc. Just check the bag and make sure it is 100% polyfill/polyfiber.
