Fritz Clarifier

Due to the accumulation of suspended particles too fine to be trapped in the mechanical filter, aquarium water quality and visibility can deteriorate over time. Fritz Clarifier flocculates these particles, causing them to become entrapped by filter pads, sponges, etc. and clarifying water fast.

Description

What does Fritz Water Clarifier do?

Tinted, cloudy water is a big drag. It makes our tanks look dirty, unhealthy and unnatural. It even reduces light transmission through the water column. Created by normal aquarium sources/activities (algae/bacterial blooms, feeding, gravel dust, etc.), this haze can be pretty difficult to get rid of; this is especially so if the suspended particles are too small to remove by normal mechanical filtration. By flocculating these fine particles, which clumps them together (allowing them to settle out or be removed by the filter), Fritz Clarifier clears turbid water fast.

This product may be safely used in any freshwater or saltwater aquarium or pond. It is completely phosphate-free and will not contribute to future water clarity issues. It will not affect your biofilter in any way, nor does it significantly impact important water parameters like pH or alkalinity. Water polishing has never been easier!

The most significant benefits of Fritz Clarifier are as follows:

1.  It works quickly and safely.

2.  It increases effectiveness of mechanical filtration.

3.  It can be used in both freshwater and marine aquaria (plant and reef safe) .

4.  It is free of unwanted phosphate.

5.  It is made right here in the USA.

Particularly useful after adding new rock and/or substrate. Reduces need for large water changes. Can be used regularly as part of regular aquarium maintenance. Don’t forget to check out the wide range of incredible Fritz products we now have available here at Algaebarn!

Directions and Usage:

It couldn’t be any easier to use! Just add 1 tsp (5 ml) per 10 U.S. gallons (38 L). The aquarium water should clear quite rapidly. Repeat if any cloudiness remains, allowing 6 hours between each additional dose.
