Water Clarity and Quality Is a Team Effort: Over-cleaning a Tank or Pond

Posted on April 18, 2024

Cloudy Water in Ponds and Aquariums

Water Clarity / Water Clouding is conditioned on FIVE or SIX different kinds of organism. Bacteria, Viruses, Flagellates, freshwater Protists like Ambiphrya as well as plants influence water clarity.

This post answers the question:

  1. “Why don’t I want to clean my pond or aquarium to spotless white?”
  2. Is there such a thing as “A TOO CLEAN aquarium or pond?”
  3. How does UV (ultraviolet clarifier) make water clarity a little bit harder?
