cloudy water

[mjhinton]

my tank just will not go crystal clear at all
no matter how many times i do a water change
im running a fluval 2 pump is it big enough
for a lil 4 foot tank. can ne1 help me. nice 1

If its a fluval +2, its nowhere near enough for a 4 foot tank. In my 55 gal i have a Fluval +2 and a +3 filter, which is slightly over the top because i keep Mbuna. As your posting this in the African section, i presume you keep cichlids and over filtration is generally a good idea. I would at least add another +2 filter or replace your existing one entirely.

 

[mjhinton]

nice one mate. yeah it is a fluval +2 did have another #### thing but it
packed up on me. would a fluval 404 external pump do the job ?
yeah i do keep mbuna.

 

[Ferris]

Yep the 404 is a good filter and would be more than you need, which is a good thing. Your water should be cystal clear with that.

nice 1 mate. any idea where i can get one
near warrington for less that 70 ?

Try E-bay.....may mate bought a fluval 3 for £9.50, its second hand of course but they last forever and works great.

Infact....I'll look for you...

Ive just bought a Aqua Pro 4 from ebay, brand new buy it now for £70 and that would be more than enough for your tank, Im running that with a pro 3 on my 6ft tank xx

In Warrington, you've got pets at home, High Legh garden Centre and there's a small shop near the hand carwash place in the town centre, just off the main roundabout.

If you want cheap though (and we all do), i'd check out Ebay and other online sites.
