I've had my 25 gallon fish tank for about a month now. I use a fluval 2 filter. It suggested using the fine polyester pad for the first week which I did and then took it out as stated. It now just has the 2 foam pads in which where already in the filter. The filter aslo came with a black carbon pad which I have never used.

My water has become really cloudy since week 2. I performed a 20% water change but it still looks cloudy. I have justy put 2 doses of filter aid in to deal with the cloudyness but this hasn't helped.

Any advice on how 2 get the water clear? Do I need to use the carbon pads or any other pads with it?
 
I presume you have fish in there? Before attempting to answer your question, please can I ask you to read some background to what should be happening in your tank. Follow the link in my sig.

In the meantime, don't touch your filter and keep doing small water changes every day.
 
Thanx for the help. :) Yeah av got quite fwe fish in now. Reading the books didn't really explain it as well as you did. I will carry out the water changes
