Aqueon AquaPacs Water Clarifier 12 Pack, 10 Gallon

Well, I finally found a product that cleared my cloudy aquarium water!! I ordered two more!! Thank you!

As you can see, it made my tank extremely cloudy. I’m really hoping nothing dies 🙄 I’ll probably have to do multiple water changes now to fix this. Very annoying.

I cleaned my 20-gallon aquarium recently, and I was planning on using a couple of these balls to condition the water.But I still have some of my old, liquid water conditioner left, and after reading a caveat that these aquarium balls might cause temporary cloudiness, I decided to go with the product I've been using and save these for later.I'm sure they will work fine, but after spending hours draining, cleaning, and filling my tank, even one day of cloudiness would be a let down.

The Aqueon AquaPacs Water Conditioner effectively removes chlorine from tap water, meeting the basic requirement for aquarium use. However, its limitations become apparent when considering the absence of helpful bacteria and other essential water conditioning elements crucial for establishing a new aquarium. This deficiency makes the product less cost-effective, as additional supplements are necessary for comprehensive water quality management. While it serves its primary purpose, users seeking a more comprehensive water treatment solution may need to invest in supplementary products, impacting the overall convenience and value of the Aqueon AquaPacs for setting up a new aquarium.

I love these- they are a lot easier to use than measuring powder. You just plop in your tank and it dissolves and works on it's own. Conditions the water as expected.

After 48 hrs my tank looked like picture one. Did a 50% water change and its still cloudy(picture 2). I will have to do another water change tomorrow. Should have just went with ammolock like i originally planned.

After a few months of uses I'm not really pleased with these. They often do not fully dissolve even in a high flow filter. I also noticed a whites residue on the top of the water. I will keep using my liquid versions.

Our water gets alot of salt build up in our tank from the water softener. I've noticed a big difference in the water quality and how clear it is .
