Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi everyone.
A while ago I had set up my eheim 2217 in my 55g in addition to the aqua clear 110 I had.
Disappointedly, my tank is still as clear as i wanted it to be. There are still pieces of plants, poop and other mini particle around. Dont get me wrong, i do weekly water changes.
I am not sure if this is because i have a prefilter over my intake for my aquaclear and my eheim filter. I understand that a power filter needs a prefilter to prevent sand from going in but I'm not sure about a canister.
I thought about removing the intake for the eheim so it can suck in the little particles but i am not sure if the sand willl break the filter.
