Product Information
Full details
SuperFish Crystal Clear Media is designed for dedicated aquarium hobbyists who demand professional-grade water clarity and chemical stability in both freshwater and marine environments. By combining high-performance activated carbon with natural zeolite, this hybrid media effectively traps organic pollutants, dyes, and toxic ammonia while actively inhibiting the nutrients that trigger algae blooms, though it must be monitored closely as its absorption capacity is finite and requires periodic replacement to remain effective.

Will this remove trace elements from my water?

Troubleshooting
Water remains cloudy after installation
Ensure you have pre-filtered the water through mechanical sponges and that the media bag is positioned in a high-flow area of the filter.
Ammonia levels rising again
The media has likely reached its adsorption capacity; remove and replace with a fresh batch immediately.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Dual-action approach saves space in filter baskets
- Helps manage ammonia spikes in new or busy tanks
- Suitable for both freshwater and marine systems
Cons
- Media must be replaced regularly to prevent leaching
- Not intended for long-term permanent biological filtration
- Requires a fine-mesh media bag for use in most filters
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the media, rinse it thoroughly under cool tap water until the runoff is clear to remove any carbon dust. Place the required amount into a fine-mesh filter bag and secure it tightly. Place the bag in a high-flow area within your filter's media tray to ensure maximum water contact. Because the carbon and zeolite components have a finite capacity to adsorb chemicals, the media should be replaced every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the stocking density of your tank. Never reuse old media, as it can potentially release trapped toxins back into the water once saturated.
