My 55 was clear enough to see from one end to another in a couple of
hours.
I rinsed my filters and got gobs of goop. Unfortunately clearing the
problems wasn't as easy, but after a week of reduced feedings things are
remaining clear. Now I use it when every I stir things up.

what kind of filter do you use? I doubled up my sponge block on the
Aquaclear, and it take out incredible amount of goop, but obviously it's
not
fine enough.

Just generic pads I get at the LFS and cut to fit. same sort you are using
I suspect. The flocculent is what does the trick. All the fine stuff
clumps together and gets filtered out easier.
