Hello
My wife and I are new to cichlids. We have had our 75 gallon tank for about 5 weeks and added fish this past weekend.
I have a few questions regarding the tank setup and the Rena X3(i think that is the model number. It is rated for the 175 gallons)
I noticed our water tends not too be crystal clear. Is there something I can check with the filter or could it be something else?
For the inflow I am using the long bar with the holes. I have it on the back wall of the tank facings the front of the tank. It is angled so the surface water gets some strong ripples. Is this the ideal location for this?
Also I have the flow going 100%. Is this also OK. I noticed when I feed the fish the pellets they tend to sink very fast from the inflow.
Can I use to much cannister filter media? I am currently using what it came with and not sure if I should use more or not. If so what would be suggested.
