Sunken Garden Clear Blue: Water Clarifier for Cloudy Freshwater Aquariums (100ml&200ml)

What is Sunken Garden Clear Blue?

It is a liquid water clarifier for freshwater aquariums. It binds the fine suspended particles that make water look cloudy, so the filter can remove them. It is not a dechlorinator, and does not make tap water safe. 

Why is my aquarium water cloudy?

Common causes are substrate dust in a new tank, a bacterial bloom, overfeeding, a dirty filter, or free-floating algae (green water). A clarifier helps with fine suspended particles such as dust and debris, and is less effective on green water or blooms unless the cause is fixed.

How much Clear Blue per litre?

Use 1 ml per 10 litres of aquarium water. That is 0.1 ml per litre.

How do I use it?

1. Shake the bottle well.
2. Calculate your tank’s actual water volume.
3. Add 1 ml per 10 L near the filter outlet.
4. Keep the filter and aeration running throughout.
5. After treatment, rinse or replace filter media, since it collects the captured particles.
6. Do not overdose.

When should I use it?

• Hazy water after setting up a new tank
• Dust after adding or changing substrate
• Cloudiness after deep cleaning
• Fine particles that the filter can’t catch on its own

What should I do besides using a clarifier?

Find the cause. For a new-tank bacterial bloom, wait it out with no overfeeding and regular testing. For green water, reduce light and fix nutrients. For a dirty filter, clean it. Use the clarifier as a short-term help, not a routine product.

Frequently asked questions

Does it remove chlorine?

No. It is a clarifier, not a dechlorinator. Use a dechlorinator on tap water first, such as Sunken Garden Anti Chlorine Dechlorinator.

How much clarifier do I add per litre?

Add 1 ml per 10 litres of aquarium water.

How long does it take to clear the water?

Results depend on the cause of the cloudiness and how well your filter works.

Will it clear green water?

It may not. Green water is suspended algae and often returns unless you reduce light and nutrients. Treat the cause as well.

Can I use it in a saltwater or reef tank?

No. It is for freshwater aquariums only.

Can I use it every day?

No. Use it when the water is cloudy, not as a routine additive. Overuse can clog filters.

Does it harm beneficial bacteria?

 Rinse filter media gently in tank water, not tap water, to protect bacteria.
