Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - [Wet Thumb Forum]-Cloudy water question and Filstar question?

Guttboy · 08-03-2003, 02:45 PM

Hi everyone...

Have some cloudy water in the new tank...mostly due to dust from planting. I am running a filstar XP3 with the foam in the bottom containers and ceramic media in the top (along with the white floss pad)...

How can I clean this up? Is there a way to run Diatomaceous earth in a filstar xp3? Has anyone done this?

Is there another filter (inexpensive) that you could use to clear water up on occasion?

Thanks

Mike
