New filter time =D
Well, I did a well needed water change today, and was getting gobs and gobs of stuff that the filter did not pick up, then I looked in the filter, and it was well needed to be changed, so I changed it, and it still wont clear up the water within a day, so NEW FILTER TIME
So I kind of want to over filter the 20 gallon since it is being used as a grow out and community tank temperarly. I have $35 to spend, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Get an aquaclear 70. I have one on my 20 long and the water is always clear, almost like the fish are floating in the air.

You can pick up a new aquaclear 50 for ~$35, they pump 200 gph. The model 70 is about $10 more, 300 gph.

I just put an Aquaclear 70 on my 20g-High shrimp tank. The flow is adjustable, so you can tweak it from ~ 100-300GPH.
I liked the Aquaclear 70 so much that, when my Penguin 330 impeller started knocking on Monday, I went out and bought an Aquaclear 110 for my 55g.
