So i currantly use a second hand fluval 305 external filter however i feel its just not doing a great job, the tank seems to have a dirty layer across my gravel, a water change helps however after about an hour the dirt settles back on top of the gravel.
My experiance before with a much smaller filter ( and smaller tank) had better results if i recall.
The tank looks clean to look at but on closer inspection i can make out all kinds of debris, another option would be to get one of those battery power vacuum cleaners that collect debris and then have an option to push the water back into the tank ?
Ive been looking at the fluval G3 and wondred if anyone else had one ? or what other filter types do you suggest ?
My only other thoughts on this was to have an additional powerhead to assist the water flow ? Tank is 200 ltr.
and i have 5 danios 1 plec and 3 mollies
