Seachem Clarity Aquarium Water Clarifier 500 mL
Seachem Clarity 500 mL is a fast-acting aquarium water clarifier designed to help clear cloudy or hazy water in freshwater and marine aquariums. Clarity works by binding tiny suspended particles together so they can be more easily removed by mechanical filtration.
This larger 500 mL bottle is a great choice for hobbyists with larger aquariums, multiple tanks, fish rooms, or routine maintenance needs. It is useful for cloudy water caused by substrate dust, detritus, bacterial blooms, uneaten food, and fine particles that make aquarium water look dull or unclear.

Why Use Seachem Clarity?
Cloudy aquarium water can happen after setting up a new tank, disturbing substrate, cleaning decorations, overfeeding, or experiencing a bacterial bloom. Seachem Clarity helps clump tiny particles together so the aquarium filter can remove them from the water column.
Clarity is not a replacement for regular maintenance, water testing, or proper filtration, but it can be a helpful tool for restoring clearer water when fine particles are suspended in the aquarium.
