Water clarity products.

Coral snow works great. You dont have to add the other stuff in the recipe the calcium carbonate works fine just mixed with water. I do add the other stuff too though most of the time. Next day its like the fish and corals are in air, super clear. Part of my maintenance is blowing off the rocks weekly anyway and I never see the coral snow sitting on the rocks but there is a pretty big cloud when I blow out the rock work.

Thanks.

So it looks like it goes in with the fish and no problems?

I've used it 50 times or more once a week with no issues to coral or fish. Dose at night while fish sleep.

I assume this will be fine,or do you have link for something different?

Take a look at @SunnyX tanks and you will conclude it works as advertised

Should, this is what I use. One 500 ML mix last over a year for me.

Haven't tried any products like the ones your talking about yet, but phytoplanktin really clears up my water once it settles out.

Oh forgot to mention, for that to work you need live phyto

Ozone is the single biggest improvement to water clarity I have seen

I also use a Reefmat but if I want to get the smallest particles out I use the Marineland Magnum Polisher

I also use the DIY coral snow after every water change. It works

I just seen them on Amazon. Do they have one for a 180-gallon?

Calcium Carbonate
Let it snow!

Second. $10 lasts a life time

And what is ozone?

ozone, o3, is generated in little box simulating lightning with a little arc (kinda like a tig welder but doesn't melt anything) or a uv light(not as cool). what it does is break o2 molecules apart and attach one of those free oxygen molecules to another o2, making o3. The o3 is then sucked into the tank via skimmer intake or airpump or whatever where that extra 'o' goes off like dr jekyl becoming mr hyde acting as an 'oxidizer' and breaking down organic waste and some other potentially toxic stuff. The o3 is really short lived and mostly serves to increase the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of the tank. if you want to run one, you need an ORP probe so as to monitor this.

Ozone scares me a little heard some horror stories. You really need to understand it before you use it imo.

Diatom filter, coral snow and filter socks have worked for me over the years
