hi, i setup my tank one month ago. finally i have enough money to get them a proper filter.
i have noticed that quite of a number of you are using sponge filter.
some of you are using canister filter.
i have attached the pic of my small tank. inside there are 6 discus. the tank is very small for 6 discus. to keep the ammonia level low, i do 50% water change daily. they seem very healthy but a bit skittish.
i have plant in the tank, but on hte leaves there is dirt and slime. before considering getting a filter, i though the tank itself with plant inside forms a natural cycling system. the plant would absorb harmful substance. but it didtn' turn out as what i expected. Besides, everyone here recommend that a filtration system is a must. but i wonder what kind of filter i should get for my tank.
if added in filter, will the tank become very cloudy all the time due to the dirt and slime?
Thanks
