Hey all
And happy new year.
Im new to this site, but I've been around for a while
I recently bought one of the Akvastabil Mark II 530l aquariums (I am from Denmark)
Here is a small video 2 days after I filled it with water.

I have the Eheim Pro3 2080 filter, and a Koralia Evolution 2800l/h power head.
But I was thinking, as you can see the inlet tubes for my filter is in both sides of the tank and the outlet is up front. Is this good or would it be better to change the position of the inlet tubes for the filter?
I'm asking because a week after I setup this tank my water still isnt clear like it use to be :/ (I had this filter on a 250l tank) Maybe its to little for this size of tank?
Could I place my powerhead more 'strategic' instead of where it is now, to like drag stuff into the filter or what will you suggest?
I havnt read much about cirkulation in a tank, other than having a big powerhead..
Its worth mentioning that I didnt rinse the gravel/sand or what you call it before filling the tank with water, wasnt much dust anyways from that.
I also have like 15kg of Red clay, I think thats how its spelled + 15liters of sphagnum. But its under my sand and not getting up in the water.
About the fish, theres around 20 red neon tetras and 10 corydoras sterbai, 5 otocinclus (dwarf suckers) and 2 apistogramma cacatuoides thats it.
The tank is suppose to be a planted tank (not much scaping) and not many plants yet, and only running 120w of light atm 4x30w tubes from my old aquarium, since my 4x80w T5HO tubes for my Ati power module hasnt showed up yet ..
Im running pressurized co2
Have a nice weekend,
Regards Rasmus
