Good morning all,
Thanks to all that helped me with my question. The canister filter I purchased is the Marineland C-360. Presently I set it up with intake on the back left side with the intake basket about 3" above the gravel and the output diffuser on the back right side about 5"+/-(this dimension is fixed by the manufacture). The flow is across the back right to left. I took a water sample last night and the water was crystal clear. I do have anothet question though. When the light is off the tank appears clear- another words I can see clearly to the back glass with the store bought background of plants and stones. When I turn the light on it no longer is clear but slightly foggy until you look directly at the bottom gravel. Does the type light affect clearity? I am using the standard light that comes with the Marineland hood. This driving me crazy.
Thx,
Scott
