Yes, the water from the sand is still dirty after vacuuming, but a lot less now. I think the MB7 is what probably makes the biggest visible difference in my tank. The bio pellets just take out the nitrates.

You should try it in your nano (without the bio pellets) just to see what it does.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
