Hey everyone, I need some creative, "outside the box" solutions to my problem..
Since switching to PFS I've had problems with excess floating poo in my 135 gallon tank. Because the sand compacts AND because Tropheus love to graze on the bottom, they are always kicking up a big "poo cloud" on the far left side of my tank where all the poo settles. This wasn't a problem before because the poo would settle into the porous cracks between the Aragonite and would not kick up.
Any suggestions? I figured some sort of filter would work best in the general area, and right now I've got an Odyssea 550gph powerhead with a double coarse sponge pre-filter, but its not getting the job done.
Would perhaps putting a koralia or tunze down there create an under-current that would force the poo to not settle there any more, but more evenly across the tank? Would this just make for a constant "poo-cloud" across the bottom third of the tank?
What do I do?![Eusa Think](https://www.houstonfishbox.com/core/images/smilies/eusa_think.gif)
