EHEIM OPAL - Water Clarity Problems



The water has gone cloudy in my tank.
I think it may be caused by overfeeding.
To alleviate this i have done the following:

1. Dosed with Seachem Clarity
2. Changed carbon filter
3. Backflushed my canister filter and rinsed out sponges
4. Vacuumed gravel
5. 20% water change

The Seachem Clarity is very disappointing so far.
Not only has it made the cloudiness worse but it has turned the water brown. I am now relying on the packet of Biochem Zorb I put into my canister to remove the impurities.

Lets wait and see....

Now the good news: The Flame moss seems to be healthy but i heard it takes about a month to start growing upwards. I suppose we need to wait for that to happen too.
