Default Creality 3D printer questions please :)

Hello fellow rocketeers,
I finally got my first 3D printer Creality CR6 SE and can say that I'm loving it! I started with a 20 x 20mm test cube.

I am printing very nicely with basic settings of .2mm Layer setting; 10% fill; .20 Z Axis setting with Creality PLA filament. Nozzle temp 200 and bed 60C.

This printer has 16 point Auto leveling bed.
================================================== ===

Now for my problems

I brought 3D Solutech PLA Filament and am having all kinds of problems.
It seems to not feed through the Extruder smoothly. I can hear a grinding sound as if the extruder gear is slipping.

How do you adjust the extruder filament tension correctly? With the Creality Filament, I was tighten the tension screw so until I the filament wouldn't slip easy, but this doesn't seem to work with the Solutech PLA?

Also, I believe the temp needs to be higher for proper flow? Just was wondering what temp settings you were using for the nozzle and bed to please?

I removed the Solutech and put the Creality filament back in and all is good, so I know the Solutech doesn't like my settings
