Seachem Pristine Aquarium Treatment, 500ml (001438)

I have been having problems with cloudy water for months. I tried water changes, cleaning my filter weekly, adding water clarifiers, cutting back on feeding, gravel vac. Nothing worked until I used Pristine. In 24 hours my tank is crystal clear. I dont know whats in this stuff, but it is amazing and fast.

I use a little less than half recommended bottle dosage every day of all seachem ferts (rotate days between trace and flourish complete). Also use online co2 calculator and use just below dose of co2 tank from 5 am to 5pm. Then I air stone at night. Slightly underused recommended fish food once or twice a day. I take no days off. 2/3rd water change and vacuum every 10 days. Perfect numbers and very slow minimal acceptable algae growth on walls to be hardly visibly noticeable. I created my own HOB power filter and pre-filter using a number of materials from amazon sources. I only clean the sponges and not the physical media, squeeze them out in the throw out water that comes out during water change. Aquarium maintenance 101 from a newbie. Use as little substrate as possible to keep plants alive to more easily avoid snails. Clean literally everything before putting into aquarium, better for it to die before going in aquarium than to introduce snails. Scrape the walls of algae at each waterchange. If you get snails, take literally everything out but fish and inverts, and soak it in a low ratio bleach plus water bath for like 20 minutes, this is the only way to kill all pest snails literally. Drain the water to just enough for the fish and inverts to swim and live, then scrub the entire aquarium with a scraper and take out literally anything you can see. Scrape again 3 times. Wipe it all down and make sure all there is you can see is the fish and inverts and clear water. Then wipe again. Add plenty of cycling bacteria from multiple sources you can find on amazon including seachem. Refill the aquarium with the bleach soaked plants decorations subtrate and filter medias. MAKE SURE YOU SOAK IN PLENTY OF DECHLORINATOR AND WATER FOR 20 MINUTES first. None of your plants should die off completely but they will lose and have killed a good amount of their leaves and roots but they should survive and regrow if you fert and change new water and quick cycle with added bacteria I truly hope this helps. My first year with a fully stocked nano tank has been a lot of time reading and experimenting. The pest snail battle was epic but Ive been free for 6 months completely. I win. Oh and didnt lose a fish or invert and plants are beyond original growth. This is with having done zero quarantining or adapting at any point. I also cycled from day one, no precycling. Use a 24 hour light with cycling phases and full K spectrum for plants. It is way easier and effective and worth the minor price increase over standard lights. And it is fun Also add Indian leaves and a UV filter Filter floss = crystal clear water. Chemical filtration is entirely unnecessary Have had no issues and made zero adjustments in six months everything has been clear and clean, green growth strong, living things have thrived. Electric heater w built in temperature control at 82 degrees for tropical fish and plants

Love this stuff! I have several aquariums in different sizes and occasionally have problems with a couple getting cloudy after I clean them. Stirring up sludge will do that. When that happens i add this along with putting a small, sponge, airpowered filter in the tank. Within 24 hours the water is crystal clear. Ive ordered this several times now and have recommended it to my friends.

I used this in my established marine tank that had gotten a little cloudy and a water change did not help. This stuff cleared it up overnight! It made the water crystal clear!

Perfect for cleaning tank without doing water changes

I recommend this for clearing up sludge in an aquarium, but Stability for quickly cycling.

The first pic doesnt even show how cloudy it really was and there was tonssss of brown algae growing all over the rock, sand, and glass!! It literally happened overnight. I used the recommended dosage and 2-3 days later almost ALL of the algae and cloudy water cleared up. Dont freak out if it gets more cloudy at first, its just the algae being broken down into something your filter/sump bacteria can eat. I also cleaned my filters to help out a bit. I just use this as needed, if you continue to keep getting algae outbreaks, its probably due to overfeeding or insufficient flow in the tank to stop algae from forming. Cant vouch for how well this works in freshwater, but I imagine youd get similar results :)

Exactly as described.Cost less than our local pet store

Poor product, made my tank cloudy and smelly. Also raised my ammonia levels through the roof

excellent 5
