API Accu Clear Water Clarifier

API Accu Clear Water Clarifier

API Accu Clear Water Clarifier is a freshwater aquarium water clarifier that clears cloudy or green-tinged water by clumping tiny floating particles into larger ones your filter can catch. It suits hobbyists who want to get rid of haze and bring back crystal-clear water without disturbing fish or plants.

Key Benefits

• Quickly clarifies cloudy water in freshwater aquariums and eliminates haze
• Works on green or cloudy water by binding tiny particles into larger clumps
• Clumped particles are easier for your aquarium filter to remove, or they settle to the bottom where they can be siphoned out
• Safe for use with all freshwater fish and plants
• Can be used once a week as a routine treatment to help keep water clear
• Helps clear the cloudiness caused by bacterial blooms

How to Use

• Add the dose directly to the aquarium water, keeping your filter running so it can collect the clumped particles.
• Water should clear within several hours.
• If the water is still cloudy, wait 24 hours before adding a second dose.
• Do not add further doses after that second one. Repeated dosing makes cloudiness worse.
• If cloudiness persists, perform a 25% water change.
• For routine upkeep, a single dose can be added once a week to help keep water clear.

Dosage

• Add 1 ml for each 40 L of aquarium water.
• A second dose can be given after 24 hours if needed, and no more after that.

Suitable For

• Freshwater aquariums with cloudy, hazy or green-looking water
• Tanks containing freshwater fish and live plants
• Freshwater tanks with a low level of salt added as part of supportive treatment for fish. A low salt level is not a problem for this product.

Compatibility

• Not for marine (saltwater) aquariums. In water with a high mineral content it will not clear cloudiness and could make it worse, although it will not harm marine fish or plants.
• It is not a healing treatment for fish like aquarium salt. Its purpose is aquarium cleanliness and clarity.
• It clears the cloudiness of a bacterial bloom but does not address the underlying cause. The cloudiness will return quickly unless that cause is treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does API Accu Clear do in my aquarium?
It clumps tiny floating particles into larger pieces. These are caught by your filter, or settle on the bottom of the tank to be siphoned out. This clears green or cloudy freshwater.

Is it safe for fish and plants?
Yes. It is safe for all freshwater fish and plants.

Can I use it in a marine tank?
No. Water with a high mineral content, such as saltwater, will not clear and the cloudiness could get worse. It will not harm marine fish or plants.

Can I use it if I've added salt to my freshwater tank to support my fish?
Yes. The low salt level typical of a freshwater aquarium is not a problem. Keep in mind that it is not a healing treatment for fish like aquarium salt.

Will it fix cloudiness caused by a bacterial bloom?
It will help clear the cloudiness, but it does not treat the cause of the bloom. The water will turn cloudy again quickly unless you deal with the underlying problem.

How often can I dose it if the water stays cloudy?
You can dose again after 24 hours, but not beyond that, because repeated doses make cloudiness worse. If the water is still cloudy, try a 25% water change. A once-a-week dose is fine for routine upkeep.
