Product Information
Full details
SuperFish Crystal Clear Media is designed for aquarium hobbyists who struggle with persistent water cloudiness and chemical imbalances. By combining premium activated carbon with natural zeolite, it offers the dual benefit of removing organic pollutants while suppressing harmful nitrate and phosphate accumulation. While highly effective at stabilizing water chemistry, users should note that the media must be placed in a high-flow area of the filtration system to function at its peak performance.

FAQs
Can I use this in a reef tank?
Yes, SuperFish Crystal Clear Media is formulated to be safe for both marine and freshwater systems.
How often should I replace the media?
Replacement intervals depend on your tank size and bioload, but a general guideline is every 4-6 weeks.
Do I need to wash it before use?
Yes, always rinse the media under cold water until the runoff is clear to prevent carbon dust from entering your tank.
Will this remove beneficial bacteria?
No, this media focuses on chemical adsorption and mineral binding, not the biological colonization of beneficial bacteria.
Can I use this with medication?
No, activated carbon will remove medications from the water. Remove the media if you are treating your fish for illness.
Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy after installation
Ensure the media is placed in the primary flow path of the filter and check that your mechanical pre-filter is not clogged.
Algae growth returns quickly
The media may be saturated. Replace the bag with fresh Crystal Clear Media and review your feeding habits or light duration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simultaneously addresses organic impurities and mineral-based algae nutrients
- Enhances aesthetic water clarity significantly
- Compatible with both saltwater and freshwater setups
- Reduces the workload on biological filtration systems
Cons
- Requires proper flow placement to remain effective
- Does not replace the need for mechanical filtration
- Requires periodic replacement once the adsorption capacity is reached
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the media, rinse the contents thoroughly under cool tap water to remove any loose carbon dust until the water runs clear. Place the media in a fine-mesh filter bag and secure it in the filter's chemical chamber.
- Compatibility: Suitable for use in canister filters, hang-on-back filters, and sump systems.
- Care: For optimal performance, check the media every 4-6 weeks. If you notice a return of water discoloration or an increase in algae growth, the media has likely exhausted its capacity and should be replaced. Never attempt to 'recharge' the carbon component; always replace with fresh material.
