Anyone?
My water looks cloudy, i think i need something else like the AC500 or would a biowheel be better?
Petsmart has the AC500 for $31.69 online
Get an emporer 400 and you'll have duel biowheel with one of the best power filters on the market in my opinion.
If it's a new setup the cloudiness is normal. It will settle down once the cycling process has finished.
You have plenty of filtration. Just remember, the best filtration is regular water changes...

My opinion is to look into getting a Vortex XL for water 'polishing'.
I use mine after water changes. This is a diatom filter.
Here are excellent directions on setting up and using the Vortex XL diatom filter --- Vortex Diatom Filter (http://www.carolinagal.com/diatom.htm)
