Cloudy, discolored water is caused by overfeeding, biological blooms, gravel dust and other suspended particles that are too fine to be removed by mechanical filtration and stay in the water column. Fritz Crystal Clear rapidly clears water by pulling together (flocculating) fine particles, allowing them to be removed by the filter or settle to the bottom, leaving your aquarium crystal clear.
Fritz Crystal Clear will not affect bio-filtration, pH or other important water parameters. Safe and effective for use in freshwater, saltwater, reef aquariums and ponds. 100% phosphate free; safe for all fish, plants and invertebrates; will not contribute to future cloudy water problems.
Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per 10 U.S. gallons (38 L).
Repeat as needed, allowing 6 hours between doses.
For the most accurate dosing, use the total water volume of your entire system — including sumps — less any displacement from substrate, rocks, and decorations. Note that some imperial measurements are rounded to the nearest common measure for ease of use.
If the cloudiness does not clear up rapidly, or returns soon after applying Crystal Clear, you may be experiencing a bacterial bloom from a sudden influx of available nutrients.
Heterotrophic bacteria can multiply very rapidly, causing a milky white haze in your water. This can happen faster than Crystal Clear and your filter can work to reduce it. To reduce persistent cloudiness, reduce feeding and perform a partial water change to remove excess nutrients from the system.
