Man I have keep Chiclids for years about 17 on and off steady for the last 10. All I ever use are HOB filters and water changes EO week. My tank always looks great you are going way overboard.
I may well be going overboard but the good thing with this hobby is what suits that person and benefits The fish. I've seen Malawi tanks covered in green algae where you couldn't literally see the fish to sell yet the fish were bursting in colour and in great condition and disease free.
Having alot of people hype on about crystal clear water... My aim isn't to have crystal clear water... Lake Malawi isn't crystal clear... My aim is to cut my maintenance and remove algae as much as possible. Simple but effective. Far too many people in the hobby chase numbers instead of chasing and nailing down consistency.
