| Yesterday I had to totally drain off this tank and remove the internal Juwel corner filter to fit a new Fluval 105. However after filling the tank back up the water is still a little cloudy, could this be from the sand after filling from empty? Or dust which were still on the ceramic hoops in the filter or just a dodgy bath of water from yesterday? Should I leave it a while and see how it goes or should I remove a % and add fresh? I have checked Ammonia and it came up yellow = 0 I didnt check anything else, should i ? Any suggestions are most welcome! | |

| I would think it's just a combination of new filter & disturbing the substrate. I'd leave it & see how it goes over a day or two. If not, change a big % of water Have you got a before & after shot with/without the juwel box out? | |

| Looks better from what I can tell & it's the same as my kitchen tank (i think) makes a big difference to how the tank looks doesn't it. The cloudinesss isn't too bad. Take another pic this time tomorrow from the end & compare em | |

| Doesn't look that cloudy, GD. I cleaned out the filters of all my tanks this afternoon and the 165L was really cloudy for about half an hour afterwards but now it's pristine again. | |
