Aye you need to rehome the oscars and bala sharks. They grow huge, and will only deform in a smaller tank. It's also not about keeping it crystal cler,, it's about keeping the nitrates down. In response to the algae issue below, had 2 30min breaks with The lights off in the day. Algae struggles with inconsistent lighting.
@superbowlchamp08 its a 20 gallon mairland kit so it came with evrything (heater filter clear and blue led light ect.) the filter is a penguin 150 biowheel. so far the 20 is awesome water is still clear. But the 10 with the crappy filter is cloudy again and that is marina or somthing like that. so if you are looking to invest in a new filter id go with the pengiun bio wheel
@alex21131 whats ur set up and how much did it cost? what filtration system jsut the penguin 100 filter or what ever or do you have like a fan thing or something
@superbowlchamp08 i know how you feel man, i dont get alge but i get dirty water, somtimes the water will be just brown almost after a week from cleaning idk i just got a new 20 gallon and iv had it running for 2 weeks and its still crystal clear idk im thinking i need a new filter for that dang tank
over stocked for a 29 gallon because those bala shark's get at least 12 inche's and two oscar's you need at least 125 gallon minimum .So your pretty much headed for destuction better restock for sure!!!
@superbowlchamp08 i still have the same issue... i changed my filter pag every 2 weeks or so.. im at the point where i might get a whole new filtration system.
it feel good to know im not the only person out there with the same issue
@alex21131 that happens to me but i run my light all day. i have 3 fish and i clean it and put a new fliter pad in there and within 4 days of cleaning it gets a lot dirter already

TRADE THE OSCARS FOR SMALLER FISH.IT IS CRUEL TO KEEP OSCARS IN SMALL TANKS .THEY WILL GET A LOT BIGGER.
GOOD LUCK.
