I saw this fab 2 gal planted tank at LFS and it inspired me to yank the UGF
from Squishy's 2 gallon hex and put on a Red Sea nanofilter and Fluorite
substrate. Lighting is a 14 watt 5500K spiral compact flourescent that
seems plenty bright over a tank this tiny.

But OMG - I rinsed and rinsed my fluorite and it never did rinse clear. I
finally gave up and set up the tank and the water is STILL cloudy an hour
later. Will this mess actually filter out? I put a second pad in the
filter, but it only seems to be getting a little bit better. Squishy is
annoyed and I don't blame him.

Also, is this cloud going to reappear every time I move a plant or replant
stem plants? If so, I'm returning the bag of flourite I bought for the 15
gallon that I have on order and using only Eco Complete. Fluorite is
beautiful, but only when you can see it!
