Many of us keep our African Cichlid tanks heavily stocked to help with aggression. It tends to spread it out. But this approach comes with a price. A well stocked cichlid tank, filled with big cichlids is also a fish waste factory. This can give you a cloudy tank very quickly.
Struggling to keep crystal clear aquarium water is not limited to African Cichlid keepers. All types of fish keepers struggle with this issue from time to time.
Let's talk about keeping crystal clear aquarium water by following the 5 easy tips that I cover in this video. Take these steps to get perfect pristine water clarity even in a heavily stocked African Cichlid tank (or any kind of fish tank). Here are 5 tips you can put to use immediately.
