Hi,

Mt tank water was looking not so clean despite water changes and cleaning etc but after an hour or so of putting in an airstone the water is crystal clear.

I am curious - does anyone know the reason for this ?

Thanks,

Rob
 
Hiya, the only thing I can think is that you didn't have enough O2 in the water before to break down particals??? Don't know much about chemistry but I'm sure someone else will.
 
Increased oxygen availability improves the efficiency & quantity of the benificial bacteria in the filter & substrate and also increases movement in the water enabling a better flow over the bacteria.
