Re: Aquarium Clarity
When you rinse the bio media in a filter you should be using old tank water that is being removed from the tank during water change otherwise you are killing off beneficial bacteria that is needed to keep the tank stable. To clear up the particles in the water you can add floss to the filter to catch the stuff, but make sure you change it often. Being a canister filter I would find a hang on back to use temporarily filled with the floss to make it easier to change it out. Then when particles are gone you can remove it.
Jennifer; your cloudy milky water is most likely a bacteria bloom which is usually caused by to much food and nutriant imbalance.
