restrict water flow and affect the priming function.
The Water In My Aquarium Is Dirty
Causes:
The beneficial bacteria have not yet established in your new filter.
Your filter is not the correct size for your aquarium set up.
You have too many fish for your size filter.
Your filter media may be dirty.
Solutions:
Your fish tank can take up to 3 weeks to successfully cycle. You may also want
to add a bacteria start treatment to your tank to speed up this process.
You may need to upgrade to a larger filter. For reference, you s h o u l d allow 1 gallon
of water per 1 inch of fish in your aquarium.
Follow the instructions in the maintenance section above.
If you have not yet done so, you may also need to carry out more regular
water changes in your tank.
