So my planted 40B has been up and running since January and it has for the longest time remained somewhat opaque. I had lots of particles floating around but I believe that was algae or some type of plankton I could be wrong. Broke down the tank yesterday due to a massive algae infestation and got rid of what I could see. Now its better not as much floating particles or BBA. What I can't understand is why I cant see perfectly through my tank yet. Its not green water already checked. I think it might be a lack of filtration power from my 304? Its only rated for 75 gallons and with the plants it may be too much for the filer. Thinking of getting a Rena xp3 it has over 100GPH more than the 304. i have an xp4 and love it works great on my turtle tank crystal clear.
Pics always help. My driftwood today has some strange growth which looks like some type of algae maybe thread algae? And my swords are covered in bba I believe.
