 | Keeping Crystal Clear water |
spankym13 Hobbyist Posts: 147 Kudos: 56 Votes: 1 Registered: 08-Jun-2007   | Well I had cloudy water for 3 weeks and finally I put some water clearifier in my tank and it cleared it up a little but was still cloudy. So I did a second does like the bottle said. Now My water is CRYSTAL CLEAR! How can I keep it this way? My water has always been clear but not this clear! |

keithgh    *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003  | To start of with why was your water cloudy? Also what is Water clarifier? Cloudy water is usually caused by over feeding or poor house keeping now which is it? By adding products and continuing doing whatever is incorrect will not solve the problem. It also could be poor filtration by that I mean the filter is not either strong enough or it is just not working enough to clean the tank. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

What is the exact name of the product that helped clear the water? I ask because they work in different ways and knowing which product helped could help sort out how to keep it looking that way.  |
