Why is the water dirty in my SunSun Water Filtration System?
- AAlicia HicksJul 25, 2025
If the water in your aquarium is dirty when using a SunSun Water Filtration System, several factors could be at play. It might be that beneficial bacteria haven't yet been established in the new filter; in this case, try dosing some bacteria into the filter and tank. The filter might be too small, requiring an upgrade to a larger one. There could be too many fish; a general guideline is 1 cm (1 inch) of fish per liter (gallon) of tank water. Also, check if the filter pads or quartz tube are dirty and clean them if necessary. If the water is extremely dirty, consider changing half of the water.
