Syringe, Plugged, and Cloudy

A web site had a neat idea for a bubble counter for the co2 line. You take a check valve and jam it up a syringe, fill it part way with water and put it along the tubing. Works great, but instead of a steady stream of bubbles I'm seeing nothing for a bit and then it busts loose with a ton of bubbles.

The filter intake was completely clogged with plant waste. Can't figure out how water even got through the gunk.

The water was very cloudy yesterday. I started to wonder if the co2 change was making some huge impact. I don't know if the change in temperature has anything to do with it either (I now have a constant 76 degrees). Today t looks pretty clear.
