water problem

gunny03 · 11/28/2007, 07:57 PM

On my tank im running a skimmer/filter, and an Fx5 with carbon, but the water is cloudy. I do atleast a 20 percent water change per week. Is there something I need to change to improve the water?

give us more info on filters. I woudl check to see if there are any powerheads blowing sand around. Make sure you are rinsing carbon before you add it to your tank.

Try running it without the carbon. Possible bacterial bloom. How long has the tank been running?
