I am in the process of setting up a 75 gallon tank. The water was a little cloudy at first but after a few days I added some water conditioner (Seachem Prime) and Proper PH 6.5 which is supposed to set the ph level automatically at 6.5. Anyway the water became much cloudier after that and although I have used two different types of water clarifier, Crystal Clear and Mardel Laboratory's Brite'N Clear (previously my favorite), and even though I added a Rena microfiltration plus pad, the water is still as cloudy as it was when I started attempting to clear it up a week ago. I have been considering Acurel water clarifier but am not sure if this will do the trick. Anyway I believe the Proper PH 6.5 powder is the culprit, and is the cause of ph shifting, not sure though. Any advice on how to clear this tank up before I add fish this next 6/08/2007 weekend would be greatly appreciated. For a filter I am using a Rena Filstar XP3 canister filter. Maybe I should change the tank water again and just use Sera Super Peat in the XP3 as a filter media to lower my PH?
