water outlets

[neilc]

I have the Seaclear System 2, with 2 water outlets feeding from main pump - in the right hand top corner of tank. My overflow is in the left corner. Can you help me set up the adjustable nozzles on the outlet? I've changed 1/3 of the water each month and still have particles in the water. Which way should I direct my 2 nozzles? Thanks

Could you provide a picture of how your system is set up?

The Seaclear System 2 is basically a built into the back wet/dry system similar to the ReSun BF 200 or bio cube aquariums.
See: Aquarium filtration

This type of system often is not very good at particulate removal, the addition of a poly filter pad in stage 2 of your filter may help (may sure water is forced thru this as best possible.


As well additional filtration may be required such as an internal filter

Finally a guaranteed way to remove these particulates (& one most of my aquarium maintenance colleagues in LA use for just this type of problem) is the Aquarium Cleaning Machine as it filters down to 30 microns in particulate size, thus polishing the water and removing vast amounts of organic mulm as well.
