Hang on filter Eheim Liberty 2042 which supposed to cater for up to 200l tank.  I removed the standard cartridges included the carbon and stuff in eheim substract pro and normal filter sponge..

As u can see the water is no where near 'clear' yet .. i wonder what can be done to improve this before i turn to a canister!

The water looks a bit green, I think it could be algea.
How long you turn on the light? Maybe you can try cut down the light.

A quick fix will be a UV light filter, that will kill all the algea, but you have to monitor other thing like ammonia and nitrate level.
