i have macro algae, LR, a light, bio balls and a filter pad... i also have a HOB filter that has macro algae as well, but for some reason my tank doesnt appear to be as clean....

[Big_Pun]

when you say clean be more specific .

[Poor Boy]

its clear but with small particles constantly floating around. just doesnt seem crystal to clear...

That pump sucking in that chaeto is no good

A filter sock a filter media pad will trap the micro particles.

if you're ghetto, take a bottle that fits the intake, cut off the bottom and stuff it with filter floss, then a layer of carbon, then another layer of filter floss. The bottle doesn't have to be clear, but it sure helps you see when the filter needs to be changed.

Wow that is an awesome idea! I have never thought about that. I love the DIY ideas.
