| the smallest thing can make a big difference.
I put a bit of sponge in the intake on my hob last night to keep fry from getting sucked up. It has been cloudy but slowly clearing up with the weekly water changes. Woke up this morning to a crystal clear 10 gal tank. I am so surprised and so happy it is crystal clear. YAY  |

| | Awsome. You can buy cilyndrical sponge filters that fit onto the intake of your filter and that might be a good thing for you as an alternative to just sticking a sponge into the intake. |

| | I supose that's fine. I personally prefer the bio freindly sponge they sell with large holes and good places for beneficial bacteria to grow in. |

| Great news, I think you should do what works and if that works use it.
