Re: discus tank water clarity hacks

Purigen's the move, like Finny said. Slap it in a media bag and toss it in your canister. Clears up haze in like 12 hours. Also, check if your filter's impeller's clogged, that'll cut flow and cause gunk to settle.

Discus in Juwel rio 180

Considering a change of heart, thinking of closing my saltwater tank and going back to keeping discus.
