RULES TO FOLLOW: (If you did not Follow the Rules and Apply the Clarifier, Chances that the level of Cloudiness will overwhelm this Clarifier and will not work effectively)
1) AVOID YOUR TANK TOO MUCH EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT OR LED LIGHTS
Reduce lighting: Do not place the tank where there is direct sunlight for even part of the day. Sunlight can, and will, promote algae growth. When using artificial light, make sure it is not stronger than necessary and is not on more than about eight to ten hours each day. Use a timer to turn the lights on and off each day.
Most organic waste introduced into the fish tank is from fish food. Overfeeding is common and probably the main cause for cloudy water problems.
3) DO NOT PERFORM LARGE WATER CHANGES
While the intentions may be good, large water changes can severely affect the balance of the aquarium leading to a further deterioration of the water quality.
3) CONSIDER YOUR FISH POPULATION
A severely overstocked aquarium will result in excess waste. The general rule of thumb is not to exceed 1 inch of fish per 2 gallons of aquarium water or 1 Regular Goldfish is good for 10gallon tank.
Taking any or all of the above actions is a step in the right direction. However, the fish tank will need time to balance and recover once favorable conditions are created.
Know your water: Test your water source. If it is high in phosphate, you should consider using phosphate removing chemicals available at your aquarium store, or find another water source, such as filtered water. Also, it is wise to test for nitrate, as some water sources have elevated nitrate levels. It does not do much good to change the water if you are adding nutrients back in the aquarium with the tap water!
Clean it up: If you see algae beginning to grow on the glass, rocks, or other hard surfaces of the tank, remove it. Scrape the glass, remove rocks, and scrub them.2
Vacuum the gravel when you perform water changes.
Keep live plants:Live plants will absorb many of the nutrients that algae thrive upon.1 Fewer nutrients in the water mean there is less fuel for algae overgrowth.
Keep algae-eating fish: Keeping Siamese flying fox, otocinclus, plecostomus, or other algae eating fish will help reduce some of the algae in the tank.
