Hi Everyone,
We have this tap water filter (as referenced) and I wanted to know if anyone else has put money out for this and has stayed happy with it? Im ready to toss the thing in the trash personally... We have cloudy water in our tank (just did yet another water change lastnight) and everything tests fine and yet stays cloudy now. I have a 90 gallon tank, 180lbs+ of live rock and base rock (mixed), I have an XP3 filter with ChemiPure in the media basket among the mechanical filters and the ceramic rings, Ive got two Rio 2100 powerheads, a prizm protein skimmer, coral life power compacts (lunar lights 8pm to 8am, actnics 8am to 8pm, 10k's 10am to 6pm)... And I still cannot figure out why my water is still cloudy, other than its probably the filtered water we have been using... We even age the water in a 20H tank for no less than two days (usually five days) before we use it for water changes - we mix the salt in it and circulate everything with a 300gph powerhead, and I just cannot figure out what on earth we are doing wrong here. Ive got a butt ton of red algae too. We tried to cure it with chemi clean but to no avail... So, Im figuring its the tap water filter that's supposed to filter everything out... Has anyone else had this problem?? Thanks in Advance... You guys rock. =)
