Does anyone out there run a wet/dry filter with a canister filter? I have a 75 gal. planted, drilled tank with 125 gal rated wet dry filter w/mag7 pmp.The water from the overflow goes straight to the drip tray which is located directly above the bio-balls down into the sump. The water is then pulled through a sponge by the mag7 and back into the tank I've been trying to get clearer water with just my wet dry, but no real success. I do 25%-30% wc every other day, but I continue to see very tiny particles in my water. It's not really cloudy, just kinda hazy. When I set this tank up, I wasn't thinking and set it to close to the wall to be able to use a hob filter (4 1/2"). Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated.The water doesn't seem to bother the fish, but it's killing me.These are my occupants and water parameters :
(6)- 3.5"-4.5" discus
(3)- yo-yo's (3"-4")
(1)- clown pleco (3")
(1)- leopard cory cats(1.5"-2")
(10)-zebra danios
ammonia-0
nitrites-0
nitrates-10ppm
ph-constant 7.6
water hardness-120ppm
Thanks for any help
