When you next change water, try to use your hand and wave the dirt off the leaves. Thereafter, siphon them off. You can also direct the flow from the hose or bailer onto the plants to slightly flush the dirt when u add the water.

Depending on where the output is positioned, a strong flow might mean more particles 'flying' around. I observed that my 1.5ft tanks with very little flow from the small internal filters, are much more clearer (and clears up faster) than my 3ft powered by by an ehime ecco and an atman 3335.
