Thanks, no air stone but I will adjust my water outlet to create more ripples

Thanks, we do have some water lettuce in at the minute but think I might invest in some more live plants as they did keep the tank levels nice

All replies appreciated but I only rinse with tank water, after learning the hard way when we first started up our tank :)

So I'm after a little help please, our tank has become very cloudy over the past few week and I'm lost as to what else to try resolve it. I think I know what may have caused it but have no idea how to fix it?! We had some eldoea densa plants and they got quite large and started to take over the...
