You will have to remove the cartridges with the carbon in them. It doesn't necessary remove the meds, however, it will neutralize them. Hence the water still being cloudy but seeing no improvements in the fish. What are you using to test, strips or chemical tests? Since your parameters sound good, i...

I use my oven or a solar oven in the summer. I put it on the lowest temp and keep an eye on whatever is in there. Flowers, leaves, fruit/veg, eggshells, etc.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the replies. Gives me food for thought.

I think if I had a marine tank it might be worth the effort, but fresh water not so much.
