If conditions within the aquarium system encourage chronic events of water cloudiness, then it will become necessary to determine, and subsequently address, the cause(s). Oftentimes, the use of an effective and well-maintained protein skimmer will help control water cloudiness; additionally, feeding aquarium inhabitants sensibly, limiting the use of organic-based supplements and additives, use of a high-quality synthetic aquarium salt blend, regular testing of important water parameters with accurate kits and\/or meters, and performing water changes\/replacing evaporation with purified water are all important aspects of marine aquarium husbandry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions and Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use in freshwater aquaria; instead, use \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-FW\u003c\/strong\u003e. Extensive research in our facility has revealed that maximum performance in freshwater and saltwater aquaria is achieved with different active ingredients rather than with one ingredient that is compatible in both types of aquaria. The active ingredients in \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e are incompatible with freshwater aquaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShake bottle prior to use. Do not \"free pour\" into aquarium, which may result in excessive, persistent cloudiness. Replace or rinse mechanical filtration material prior to use; when filtration media nears capacity (signified by a significant decrease in water flow through the exhaust of the power filter, or pooling of water above horizontally-situated filter pad material), replace or rinse it, and repeat as necessary. Skimmate production may change during the time that the flocculant is active in the system; check protein skimmer waste receptacle periodically after dosing of \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e and empty receptacle as necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecommended dosage is ~1-ml of \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e per 10 US-gallons (37.9 L). Dilute up to 10-ml of \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e per 8 fl-oz. or 250-ml of purified water and stir to disperse; gradually pour the resultant solution into the aquarium in an area of rapid water flow. Allow at least 12-hours for flocculation process to complete; re-apply in 24-hours if necessary. Maximum recommended usage is twice per 5 day period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReoccurrence of cloudy water after \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e has been employed to satisfactorily clarify water is an indication that issues referred to in Technical Background (opposite panel) may need to be addressed. The long-term successful care of aquaria relies upon the employment of sound husbandry principles. \u003cstrong\u003eClarifī-SW\u003c\/strong\u003e is not formulated to remedy water discoloration (e.g. \"yellow\" tint) caused by dissolved organic material; instead, employ activated carbon (e.g. \u003cstrong\u003eBrightwell Aquatics Carbonīt-P\u003c\/strong\u003e) and\/or macroadsorptive resin (e.g. \u003cstrong\u003eBrightwell Aquatics OrganītR\u003c\/strong\u003e) for this purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not use in freshwater aquaria.
