Clear a Foggy Fish Tank

Is your tank always cloudy? Here is a fast, easy fix that you can use anytime!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Loose Filter Fiber
  • Crystal Clear tank treatment
  1. Step 1

    First you are going to want to remove any filter items you have in place, carbon, charcoal, standard filters.

  2. Step 2

    Pack the empty space about half full of the loose fiber media.

  3. Step 3

    The best item ever (I have tried them ALL!) is a brand name item, you can find it at almost any pet store. It is very well priced and is called Crystal Clear. It has a yellow blister pack and is generally hung on the wall.

  4. Step 4

    Follow the directions for how many gallons your tank is, put the drops in and wait a couple hours. This is safe for fish (that you do not intend to eat) and plants.

  5. Step 5

    If it has not cleared considerably in just a few hours, remove the fiber, replace, and treat again. Unless the tank is REALLY bad, you should not need to do that more than once. I had a tank in a window (I know, big no-no) and this was the way to go for me!

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not OVER dose, you can do it again in a couple hours!
