Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on resolving why my water is so full of particles and what to do about it.
My setup is a tall 150litre planted tank. It's 6 months old and its had its problems but it's been running really well for around 2+ months now.
I have 2 ehiem 130 filters, and I dose ei. I also do a large 50%+ water change weekly, but the particles come back.
As far as I can tell they are poo and other bits of waste, they don't seem to affect the fish but it makes the water look unclean. It looks to me that the problem could be with flow in my tank. My tank is deep and the filters pick up from quite low down in the tank, and the particles seem to want to float to the top meaning they don't ever seem to get sucked up by the filter. I'm not sure what to do. I do have a powerhead but because my tank is so heavily planted it blows the plants quite harshly. I've added a video and hopefully someone can give me a little advice. Thanks guys!
