Hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble.
My water is generally very clear.
I have very good filtration with 2 canister filters on my 120G.
They are 1500L and 1000L
I bought both filters second hand and both have very good throughput.
The problem i have is that there are a lot of floating particles in the water.
I have good current in the tank (you can see the particles moving) but they don't seem to go away. I'm worried they're going through the filter without being caught. Not sure how this could be happening.
The filters are a Fluval 404 and a Aqua One CF1000
The Aqua one just has some bioballs then a spongeand the next two layers are filled with small ceramic tubes for the bacteria to grow on.
The Fluval has a sponge prefilter builtin to the unit and then a I have some carbon and then some more media for the bacteria to grow on.
Maybe replace the carbon?
Any suggestions on the stacking of the canisters?
Or could it be the placement?
I have one at each end so there is an inlet and outlet at each end so the water gets moved around pretty well.
It's annoying the crap out of me cause besides these particles the water is very clear.
