SRC Member jem Posted September 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 8, 2005 if cloudy is the case.. u might want to wait for a day for the water to settle.. wash the filter wool frequently if u are using it.. and try not to stir up the sandbed if u are also having it.. my limited 2 cents advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
