I have a 75 gallon tank and I am in the process of changing over to a reef system. I just added some fresh live sand yesterday after removing the old coarse crushed coral and my tank is still very cloudy. My only filters are a CPR Bak Pak and a Whisper Power filter. My filter was really full so I changed it this morning. I'm guessing the filter just isn't big enough. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Chris
i have found IME whisper filters not to be very effective in any size tank i prefer if hang on type the aquaclears they tend to have much better filter media than the whispers do and better water movement.in stores they tend to be somewhat pricy from 70 to 100 bucks but online very inexpencive under 50 i use an aquaclear 110 on my and and a cpr backpack this is an eel tank and can tend to get dirty water very quickly with these 2 filters I can keep the tank clean and excess waste levels in check.enought to keep corals alive and thriving in(which i do) run some carbons on the tank and adjust your powerheads to blow above the sand level this should calm it down a bit
