Q: I added Clarity to my tank and it got a lot cloudier. I could actually see the cloud bloom grow where I put the Clarity in.
A: Clarity is a flocculant, meaning it bonds to small particles, making them much larger and easier to filter from the water. This will make the cloudiness worse for a short time until the large particles are removed from the water. Mechanical filtration is the only way to remove them, and if you don't have adequate mechanical filtration it will probably never clear. Any clarifying agents require a fine mesh sponge or filter floss to acheive their final result, so I suspect the second tank had minimal mechanical filtration, since the product was effective on your first tank.
Q: Will the Clarity precipitate trace minerals and macro- and micro-nutrients that my fish and plants need to maintain rapid, healthy growth?
A: Clarity will only remove particulates not soluble nutrients. Clarity works as an aggressive floculant and not as a precipitant. Clarity is generally used for cloudy water situations and it great for all types of clouding.
Q: Will Clarity clear up algae blooms?
A: Yes, Clarity will clear all types of clouding
Q: Will Clarity clear up bacteria blooms?
A: Yes, Clarity will clear all types of clouding
Q: I have floating particles (not algae) in the water that the filter will not catch. I wanted to know if your product "Clarity" will help.
A: Clarity can be used for all particulates. I would use a fine filtration floss in your filter system in conjunction with Clarity. Clarity actually makes the particulates larger, allowing for them to be filtered out of your system. Clarity is also safe to use in all aquarium systems, freshwater, reef, etc.
