Driftwood, overfeeding, and decaying plant matter can tint aquarium water yellow-brown and cloud it with fine particulate, even in an otherwise healthy, well-filtered tank. Dymax Clear Mix is a water clarifier that clumps fine suspended particles together so your filter can remove them, restoring clear water without a full water change.
Why Water Clouds Even in a Healthy Tank
Cloudiness isn't always a sign of a problem — fine particulate from substrate disturbance, decaying leaves, uneaten food, or new driftwood tannins is often too small for mechanical filtration to catch on its own. It can linger for days or weeks even as biological filtration and water parameters stay stable.
What Clear Mix Does
- Flocculates fine particles, causing microscopic debris to clump into larger particles your filter can actually trap.
- Works in freshwater and saltwater, making it a general-purpose clarifier across both planted and reef setups.
- Speeds up visible results compared to waiting on filtration alone to slowly clear haze.
How to Use It
- Dose according to tank volume and run mechanical filtration (filter floss or a fine pad) to capture the clumped particles.
- Don't rely on it as a substitute for maintenance — it treats cloudiness, not the underlying cause like overfeeding or an overdue water change.
- Re-dose if cloudiness persists after 24–48 hours, but investigate the source if it recurs frequently.
