Hey everyone! Ive researched this quite a bit but was looking to see if any of you has messed around with different filter media in the AC110 filters? I have a 75 gallon tank with two of these monsters. I run the large sponges in both, and in one i use a layer of filter floss and filled to the top with crushed coral, and in the other is just biomedia to the top.
Since i started the tank i have found the water to be cloudy, like microbubbles everywhere kind of cloudy. I know the sponges that come for these filters arent very fine, so im thinking it could be some suspended small bits that get past the media. Possibly from the food too. I was previously thinking it could be a newer tank sort of issue, but the tanks been up for around a half year i think without any sign of issues. So its not a new tank thing. Does anyone know of a way to get a finer sponge to put after the origonal sponge to work more effectively? The small amount of filter floss i put in is clogged within the week easy so it doesnt do much
