what is the water clarity secret? Please do tell
Lol. It's no secret. Just suggested using polyester fiber into his filtration sock / sump. I had the same issue with the cloudy haze when I started. Great cheap mechanical filter media. Personally, I just stuff the outer rings on all 3 trays in my FX5, and change it every 2 months with no issues. Use the 100% poly fill you get from a craft store, walmart, etc...
I find that there are two polyester materials offered. a.) there's one with a cotton ball feel to it. Don't get this one cuz it clogs easily and disintegate in an enclosed environment -canister filter. b.) get the one that is more of a plastic feel to it. The version you would see in a cheap teddy bear or pillow. It holds better in the water and retains their shape. Hope this helps.
