Are high nutrients a bad thing?
Well, you're the one with brown water; You tell me.

I meant if high nutrients are bad for the fish? I know they look awful.
I went to my lfs and I bought a Bio-wheel Power Filter. The kind man working there said he knew exactly whats up with my tanks, and as you guys said "too much nutrients". And he also said possible from over feeding.
Another thing he said to do is to turn the light off, I just have a regular hood lighting (for fw) and that causes algae.
The after it running for just under 2days the tank has not cleared up much since. I'll give more time though.
I've been thinking about the sand too. Looks pretty bad too.
Would it be ok to get new live sand and add that? Take out the old and put my clown goby in a smaller tank while I do this?
And maybe take the lr out and give it a good scrubbing.
Also doing a 50% wc with water form my lfs, I've been using faucet water and maybe there water might turn out better.
I'm thinking of all the possible ideas to why my tank is so dirty.
