Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy after adding carbon.
Ensure the carbon was rinsed thoroughly before use. Check if the carbon amount is sufficient for the water volume. Consider that carbon primarily removes dissolved impurities; other filtration methods may be needed for suspended particles.
Carbon seems to lose effectiveness quickly.
Replace the carbon more frequently than every four weeks, especially in heavily stocked or polluted systems. Ensure the carbon is properly housed within the filter and not bypassing the flow.
Dust particles in the aquarium after initial setup.
This indicates insufficient rinsing of the carbon. Perform a partial water change and consider running the filter without the carbon for a short period, then re-rinsing and re-installing.
