API Accu-Clear - Freshwater Aquarium Water Clarifier
APIClears cloudy aquarium water
Cloudy aquarium water can be frustrating, especially when you've just cleaned your tank or added new gravel. API Accu-Clear Freshwater Aquarium Water Clarifier is designed to quickly clear cloudy or green-looking freshwater aquarium water caused by tiny floating particles.
Accu-Clear works by gathering these tiny particles together into larger clumps. These can then settle to the bottom of the aquarium or be picked up by your filter, helping your aquarium water become clear again.
In many cases, the water can begin clearing within several hours of dosing. Accu-Clear can also help improve the efficiency of your aquarium filter by making it easier for the filter to capture the larger particles.
How to use API Accu-Clear
Use the dosing cap provided and add 2mL per 38L (10 US gallons) of aquarium water.
For larger aquariums, use 10mL per 190L (50 US gallons).
Do not overdose.
If the water has not cleared after 24 hours, another dose can be added. Accu-Clear can also be used weekly as part of your regular aquarium maintenance routine.
What causes cloudy aquarium water?
Cloudiness can be caused by tiny particles floating throughout the water. New gravel, disturbed substrate and other fine particles can all contribute to cloudy water.
If your aquarium keeps becoming cloudy, it's worth looking at the underlying cause rather than simply treating the symptoms. Your filtration, feeding, maintenance routine and the age of the aquarium can all make a difference.
