Hello hello again, Thank you for your helping tips. The water is clearing!!! :D Today, even though the water still has some sort of green shade to it, it actually is getting clear :good: I can see the plants as well as my fish. Fish seem to be unusually active, happy even though they have...

brilliant :lol: ...thank you.

It is a pleasure to see that people are ready to help, advice and sometimes make a couple of jokes out of it all. Thank you for that. Decision has been made and actioned - already. I quickly cleaned the filter, inserted the Special Carbon Filter Pad (came packed with Fluval 3 Plus ) in...
