Thanks for your time, AzOcean, email on its way. I did put a new filter, I just thought if I am using my original filter in addition, it would not harm. Colleen. I did washed my filters in freshwater. Thank you for mentioning that I should not. Stupid me! Do you think that fact could add to the...

Hi. I know that majority did not took my post seriously. Was a little joke from me. I know its naughty. I just found topic about adding "vodka in the fish tank" is very funny. :hilarious

Originally Posted by mrdc I can only say that I had a similar problem a long time ago when I setup a freshwater aquarium. I did not wash the ornamental rocks nor the bedrocks. The rocks continued to leach out junk (clouding up the water) even after several water changes. I ended up yanking...

Originally Posted by My Way I bet a diatom filter would clear that up fast. Yes, I did read about this DE filters (diatomaceous earth). When I asked about it in my local Aquatic centre (the largest in my area) they were looking on me with square eyes, and no idea what I am on about. I even...

Originally Posted by mrdc Hi and welcome to the boards. I think I read most of what was said and I don't think a saw anything on filter media. Are you using any? I use PURA pads and Chemi-Pure which seem to work for me. It seems like some good filter media may help clear the water. Apart...

Today in the morning I managed to buy another filter Rena XP3 and installed, as well as running my RenaXP2. (So I have 2 filters now) I've added more filters media-active carbon as well as Fluval biomax. Water clarifier did not do nothing. I also installed 2 powerheads. My friend with marine...

I just done the water test again and its exactly the same as it was yesterday (healthy parameters, according to my water testing kit anyway). Is all this muddy water down to overstocking to fast, and not powerful enough equipment? Still, even if that that case, its just to bloody cloudy. (not...

AZ Ocean, I did washed my sand, because it was not Live sand. That was staff in the local shop advised me to purchase. I have a massive favour to ask members of the forum. I know its very cheeky and a lot to ask, so my apologies for it. Can anybody look on this site...

Thank you for advise regarding skimmers! Of course I read a lot of books before for a year or so before deciding on the marine fish tank set up. I probably spent almost £200 so far on the books and magazines alone. I am new to marine hobby, (apart of scubadiving)but I do have a successful fish...

Hi Turning Tim. Thank you for you assurance. :) I have a little question regarding skimmer. Is skimmers exist which when you fit them, you no need to cut the part of the lid tank off. Its just my husband had so much hassle to install it! Now, if I buy another skimmer, he needs to do all that...

Hi AzOcean. My substrate its just sand for marine set up. That's what they sold me in my local store. I don't think its a Live sand. I did not heard such existed before reading forum. I did washed it as properly as I can, and my tank was transparent for a week or so (after first set up...
