Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok well I am not sure if it is the worms or other food or somehting totally not related but I have clouding problems.
My 29 gallon tank is startign to get all these particles floatign around in it. It almost looks like tiny air bubbles but it is liek a particle storm or somehitng. IT is worse at the top of the tank and is makign it cloudy.
This happened before so I decided to get a Elmh Ecco canister filter for the tank. I did and I put the course, fine and carbon filters in the filter and it took the cloudiness away in a day or two.
I have had the filter runnig ever since. It got a little crapped up so I took it apart and cleaned it and put in a new fine, course and carbon filter. However the cloudiness did not go away. So I decided to put in those filter ball type media. I added that to the filter as well but no change.
I am not sure if I have the filter media in the correct order in the canister. I think it is supposed to be course at the bottom, ball media and then fine filter in the middle and the carbon filter last. Tell me if I am wrong.
What I have noticed is that the filter does not seem to be pumping as much water. The pressure at the output does not seem to be as high as it onece was. What could it be? Maybe it is the fact that the lines are gettign alge build up but what can I do for that? I also noticed that there is sme air trapped in the top of the filter. Nto sure if that is normal or not. It sometimes makes crazy noises and spits out air bubbles but I primed it liek I was supposed to. Jsut don't knwo what is wrong.
Should I change my media to different locations? Shoudl I jsut put in the fine and course filters to see if that does anything? Do I clean the lines and how do I do that? Any ideas would help.
