Let's Talk About Water Clarifiers

[@northpond4052]

Clarifiers work really well for ponds. I use it in my koi pond about once a week. Whenever water gets a little less clear due to algae or particulates it does a good job of clumping it together and filtering it out. My filter clogs twice as fast when using it so def works well.

All you need is an Unscripted Aquarium Clarifier (UAC) and 50% weekly water change. UAC evens removes green water algae. No need for any filter devices, Poly-Fil, filter polishing pads, UV sanitizer, hydrogen peroxide, carbon activated sponges, or Purigen, etc…😊 Save yourself the eye sores, time, and $$$ in the long run.😊

I never used the liquid clarifiers for general particulates, but do use polyester batting material for fine filtration. If the cloudy water is from a bacterial bloom, in the aquarium, definitely found the best thing to do is just leave it and give more time, for the bacteria to catch up. Good video.

yup..that's what I do.. it goes away after like a couple of weeks

Learned a new word today. Thanks, Dan. Very interesting and educational.

[@reggienorman7253]

7:20 if something is going to eventually clean itself why should using the water clarified mater?

[@VTuber_Central]

10:50 why not just use uv aquarium filter light??

The only water clarifier Id ever use is benzonite clay, montmorilonite clay…koi clay. Leave that stuff in the tank, it’s great for fish

The only time i used them was when i was swapping out plants and changing my substrate.

[@armandomendoza5596]

Thank you!

[@pingary7502]

water clarifier’s works good for big ponds that pollen and junk falls in all the time but in aquariums it’s usually just unnecessary from my experience at least

[@kylethompson7354]

Oh man, I remember cleaning my 55g every single day when I first started out. It just wasn't getting any bacteria started and I didn't understand why my tank would not clear up. Lesson learned

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Lol we've all come a long way.

[@TripleJAquatics]

"Aquariums on a budget" is my channels whole theme, I tend to spend as little as possible and instead just be patient and do things the long, cheap way lol

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Nothing wrong with that. I mostly do it that way too.

[@Aracnacon1]

My pond does the same, its milky looking.

[@KevinLee-pq5sm]

Thanks

[@LittleMissDivine777]

Can you put too much? To where it makes the water cloudy

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

Not sure about that, but over-dosing it may be harmful to fish and inverts.

[@alkatraz706]

it's like using eggwhites to make a clear soup..them proteins like to stick together 😝

Why is there a telephone under the fish tank? -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸

[@DanHiteshew-oneandonly]

It's almost a TARDIS.

[@doncherney8649]

@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly I had to ask Google to define TARDIS for me and I have to say that is a great response. Now I’m wondering if you are John Titor. -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸
