Algae? What gives? How to fix?
Bought a really sleek looking Fluval tank. Set it up a few weeks back. Been cloudy as heck ever since. Rinsed the sand forever before I put it in. Pump is putting out way too fast and swirling everything around. Going to try to block the flow at the pump. Also, it has a coarse black sponge filter—all my other little tanks have had more traditional, finer, white filters. Any experience with these tanks? Suggestions on how to hack the filter to get it out? Tried a floculating clarifier. No dice. Help and advice gratefully appreciated.
