As an aside, clarity of water has little or nothing to do with the
health of the tank, or the suitability of the water to support fish.


Clear and clean may not mean healthy, but it sure is nicer to look at.
As far as health, the Jebo tank fish are colorful, active, and
peaceful. The plants are growing well. I have had this tank up for a
year and a half. My two year old 75 gallon tank has many more fish
that are equally healthy by my standards, but usually has more
suspended particles even with two Penquin 330s. I think I can reduce
the visible particles by changing the filtration media. I ordered
several types last week and look forward to playing with this.

Clean and clear is nice.
