No I went the other way hob to eheim because it was quiet

I'm running a eheim 2217 filter on my 46 gallon bow front tank. I switched from a whisper 30-60 hob and my tank water was crystal clear. Now I notice more particles floating and missing the input of the eheim mostly floating up top. I've tried micron pads and polyfill but it looks as if the...

Also I did put the sponges and charcoal pouches in the new filter at the very bottom
