Hi,
My 250 ltr planted tank is filtered by an EHEIM 2026 Pro II operating at about 50%. I’ve recently (3 weeks ago) changed from using a mix of RO and Tap Water to purely Tap Water. However, since the change the water in the tank is noticeably cloudier. I change about 50% each week. After reading various threads on this forum that tap water is much better for plants and also to avoid the hassle of driving to the LFS each week to collect RO.
Would putting the active carbon filter mat in the filter cure the problem and should it remain in the filter all the time?
PS: Love the new forum format
