Just thought I'd share a bit of info with the newbies.
I, myself am a newbie.
I've had a tank for about 6 months, and have gained a wealth of knowledge from this forum.
Recently, my tank has become VERY cloudy. It's been this way for the past 5 weeks. Nothing cleared it up.
I put two filters, changed this, cleaned that....nothing worked.
Water reading were OK throughout my dilema.
The ONLY thing I over-looked, were the hoses that lead to and from the Fluval canister filter. Today, I took them off and ran a long brush through it, follow by a stream of water. What came out of the hoses almost made my wife vomit!
Needless to say, they were filthy.
It took all but 4 hours later, for my tank to clear up, after being cloudy for so long.
