Default Polishing My Water

Hi Everyone!

What methods could I use to make my water crystal clear? A UV will work but I don't like the idea of killing off the pods and beneficial organisms in my tank.

Carbon is made to clarify the water isn't it.

Or you could jump on the Chemipure bandwagon.

You can put it in a filter bag & run it passive or in a reactor in your sump.
