Floating Bits

[skeat12]

I regulary clean my tank and gravel vac every water change (weekly), I have a Tetratec EX700 filter running. Problem is there's always small bits floating round the tank, the filter is pumping water out fast so I don't think there is a problem there. I think it is the position of the intake/outlet, the tank is a trigon 190 so it's kinda limited to their positions, does anyone else have this problem? or can recommend the best position for the inlet/outlet? I have tried altering the outlet flow direction but it doesn't help, it's getting annoying and can't be good for the fish.

Thanks

Oh, and filter aid doesn't help either

Hi
I had the same problem with my Juwel Vision 180 (planted) and Tetratec EX700.
It took a bit of experimenting with positioning the spraybar,direction of the jets and adjusting the flow rate.
I finally ended up with full flow rate,full length bar a long the back of the tank (pointing left) with the intake in the righthand rear corner.
I also removed the stopper at the end of the spraybar to reduce the turbulance.
Don't expect instant results,give it a few hours to see how effective a new position/flow rate is.
It can be frustrating,took me at least 6 goes before I was happy with it.
Good luck...

I guess all I can do is play with the inlet/outlet the 190's shape makes it limited as to where they can be placed, ah well if at first you don't succeed............
