Ducksta Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Fish poop. More/larger fish and more food means more poop in the filter.Can't really comment on what a "normal" amount would be. It would help if you detailed the size of your tank, it's inhabitants, and the filtration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firthy13 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Duck is spot on, we can't really help you without knowing tank size, what filter you are using and how many and how big your fish are. But I'm guessing if you are cleaning it that often I say you need to add atleast another canister filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try replacing airstones with sponge filters this will take out fine particles within your water. Is the issue your experiencing just a dirty canister filter or dirty water?
