Water clarity - help needed

[Minion2015]

Hi all!
I need some help with water clarity. I am running an Eheim 2217 on my 72 gallon bow front. Been set up a month now and parameters are all good. I do 10-15% water changes per week. Tank has 3 angels and 3 roselines. I had driftwood, but took it out as the tanins were driving me crazy (after boiling and soaking many times).

Here's my question...what can I do to get my water clear of particulate? My 26 gallon has a HOB, and is crystal clear...but this 72 isn't. Will another 2217 help, will a vortex filter help, or should I do something else? I am reluctant to add a HOB. Ideas????

I would add some filter floss to the eheim as a top layer. You'll have to change it out frequently at first but it should help tremendously. An alternative would be to temporarily set up either a HOB filter with floss or get an aquaclear powerhead with a pre-filter and stuff it full of floss. A diatom filter would help as well, but it can be expensive.

If you add extra filtration will be the best thing you can do and dont do wather change at least for one week so wather can cure cuz you dont have tha many fish let the filters do hes gob,but again add an other filtration acuaclear 110,or an Emperor400,are your best choices .

Anyone have experience with a vortex diatom filter? Sounds like a serious piece of equipment.

Vortex Diatom filter will make your water crystal clear in no time. Also will filter out ick.

FilterMax PreFilter III and add Purigen as top layer of canister.
