Question 1

Can you use this in a turtle tank

Accepted Answer

I've been using it in my turtle tanks for a couple years now. 24 hours after a water change i add 1/8 teaspoon. Weekly water changes aprox. 20 gallons of water in the tank. Seems to keep the water clearer between cleanings and has no harmful effect on the fish or turtles. when first added it makes the tank cloudy but clears within hours.

Question 2

My pond is just 50 gallons. How much should I use? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I have a 60-gallon pond and use 5ml at a time. The blue cap on the bottle has a measure for 5ml/10ml, or you can use the other side of the cap (small side) and fill to the top.

Also, from the vendor's photos, 5ml = 190L (50 gal).

Question 3

I have treated my pond twice, both on consecutive days. The water has not cleared. The water is brown and does not have a green tint. Any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Accu-clear is a flocculant, which means that it causes the particles in the water column to clump together. If you are adding it and not seeing improvement, the other piece to this puzzle is your filtration. Try adding a micro-filtration pad or other finer filter media to the filter. Accu-clear will clump the particles together, but they still need to get caught up by the filter and if there is no media to catch it as it goes through, it will keep on cycling through. If you have a lot of cloudiness, you are going to want to clean that micro-filtration pad 12-24 hours after using the accu-clear so that it does not clog. Hope this helps!
