Unclear water is mostly produced but too much particulate in your water column.
Mostly carbon will remove yellowing and some waste and hard metals from your water,, also does very well at removing chemicals and additives with the downside being it removed many trace elements from the water. It does also help provide a breeding area for beneficial bacteria.

The filter sock does a perfect job at removing particles from your system, does nothing to the water chemistry at all that i know of.
Additives like coral snow do feed corals, help remove the food source from many bad algae and bacterial blooms, and does help clear your water and remove red slime bacteria.

The biggest improvements on clear water is running the bio-pellets and zeo rocks. Every guy that runs these can attest to having the most pure water, and mostly the best tanks ive seen are running zeo rocks, and some of the chemical regiment. Bio-pellets do help but not as much as the zeo.
