 | Debris Everywhere |
azmentl Hobbyist Posts: 61 Kudos: 55 Votes: 11 Registered: 14-Dec-2004   | My 46 gallon planted with full stock won't get clean. With my 36 watt light it was fine, but I just put on a new 6700k 96 watt light and with the black background and gravel every little thing reflects. Any ideas? I tried a coagulant but it just cloudied the water then it was back to the way it was. I have an eheim 2213 filter. Thanks for your help. |

If the debris is also in suspension, and your filter is just not doing the job, I'd use a diatom filter after cleaning the gravel.
