Help with getting water clear

by Deltasigpony3648

I'm sick of my water being a little cloudy and suggestions on how to get it crystal clear like you see in the stores or commercially.

cloudy as in having particles in the water columm? if so,u cud put a filter sock at yr overflow area to remove them. u could also use an ozonizer,this you will have to use with an ORP controller. overdoze can nuke yr tank.

I got a protein skimmer and the water started looking great I still have a little haze which i mean little but i can deal with it. I just wish i could get the water as clear as some of the commercial tanks i see

an ozonizer should do the trick. but as mentioned in by earlier post,do run a controller with it as overdose can cause a tank crash. slowly raise yr ORP level to abt 400-420 range.
