I had no idea why my aquarium was getting so cloudy and I tried multiple things, including buying one of those Japanese Marimo plant balls....but nothing worked. I was ready to take the aquarium down or convert into a lizard tank.
Then I discovered this product. 1 day later.....clear!
I had to use some more drops for the next couple of days, but ever since then my aquarium is the clearest that I have ever seen!
Awesome product at a really cheap price.

I am not sure where others have gone, but for me, this product is amazing! Let me first say that I am very diligent about weekly 25% water changes, and I have shrimp and snails in my tank to keep the detritus down. I have a 10 gallon tropical tank with live plants and an Acqueon filter. Recently, the water started getting cloudy, and I have been trying for weeks to get it back to the pristine, clear state (like it is when you first start). I even resorted to changing the filter three times in the past month. The water would get clear for about 12 hours, then get cloudy again. Well, much to my delight, I picked up a bottle, put in 3 drops per gallon, and within 2 hours the water is absolutely clear. Best product out there, and for only $5.

I love acurel F every time i get a cloudy aquarium i use this it is a miracle worker it makes my aquarium crystal clear in just a few hours sometimes you need to add a second application if the cloudiness is really bad... it is a wonderful product to have on hand because no one like to look at a cloudy aquarium..i wish that Petco sold larger size bottle of this product..one tip use the lowest dose which is 2 drops per gallon of water if its not clear in a few hours dose again 2 drops per gallon its best to start out smaller doses then larger doses..ive never had to put more than 2 separate doses in ever...

This product is great we've been trying to establish our tank for about a month. Finally got chemical balance right, now we had the cloudy water issue to resolve, tried topfin no dice. Got the Acurel F-25 and BAM it did the trick for us. LOVE it. Our tank is crystal clear the fish seem happier too. Thanks to Utube for recommedation and Petco for having the sense to sell it.

It's Crystal Clear... This Product is Awesome!

It's a Miracle!!!
I haven't had a decent clear tank of water since I first set up my tank. It's a little 5.5 Gallon. The only time it was clear was when I first filled it. Since then... it's been various levels of cloudiness. I filled it with Well water. I added the recommended conditioners. It being a new tank, I added "seed" fish (Fathead Minnows). All but one of the fish died. I had a very bad case of New Tank Syndrome. I decided to start over. I cleaned the heck out of everything. This time I used Spring water. I added the conditioners. It started out crystal clear... but after a couple of days, clouded up again. I used a water clarifier... a floculant type... it did zip... a waste of money. The water tested OK... but remained cloudy. I decided to be patient. I did a lot of research... joined forums... I followed all the advice I could find about setting up a new tank... and getting the water right biologically. I added this, that, and the other thing... as recommended. Nothing Worked. I used 3 other water treatment products that all made fantastic claims about creating a crystal clear, biologically balanced, environment in my aquarium.
2 1/2 months into it with my cloudy tank, and just one Fathead Minnow left... he was from the first batch... apparently a hardy little guy. Just for fun, I added a Crayfish that I found in a nearby creek (tons of fun, extremely entertaining, super hardy and easy to care for... and gets along great with my Fathead Minnow). He's doing awesome, but eats vegetables, algea wafers, frozen shrimp, etc... anything/everything you throw in the tank. The water was always cloudy... and I thought, with the salad bar my Crayfish was eating... the water would never clear up.
I wandered into Petco to browse around. I found the "Acurel F" and read the label. I thought, Ok, I'll bite. I bought the "Accurel F", but didn't get my hopes up. I followed the directions. I added 2 drops per gallon (the minimum recommended amount). About 2 hours later I checked it. It was very clear, a significant difference... but I thought not quite a 100%. I added 5 more drops. The recommendations were to start with 2-4 drops per gallon, so I was still in the range. Within 4 hours, as stated, as claimed, as promised, on the package... Crystal Clear Water. Beautiful!
My recomendation... start with the lowest dose... and work your way up as necessary. I've been maintaining the clarity in my 5.5 Gal. tank with just 2 drops a day.
"Accurel F" - Awesome Product.

I've tried many clarifiers on the market and had no luck. I have a 36g & a 10g tank. Both with a hazy white cloud just lingering forever. My 36g is equipped with 2 filters ( Marineland Emperor 280 Pro Series & Aqueon CA30). The 10g has a Marineland 100. They help filter out the debris & waste but would not remove the white haze. I watched a couple of videos on YouTube but I was still skeptical.
Today I received my order of Acurel F 25 (ordered 3), pretty fast shipping too! I followed the directions and now both my 36g & 10g are CRYSTAL CLEAR!!! I noticed a huge difference within only 1 hour!!! My fishes look like they're swimming on air and showing their true colors!!! By the way, this product is all natural :) I'm very satisfied with Acurel F 25!!!

I have a 180 gallon tank with a wet/dry filter. It started to get very cloudy about 3 weeks ago. I have two 12 inch Oscars and they are extremely messy.
I did a 50% water change and that helped a little. I tried clarifiers from 2 well known brands, but they didn't seem to help at all. I changed the filter pads several times and performed another partial water change, but the problem persisted.
I stumbled upon this product while searching for solutions on Youtube and decided to give it a try. I added 2 drops per gallon the first day and noticed a slight improvement about 5-6 hours later. The next day, there was still a milky haze, but it was definately clearer. I added 2 more drops per gallon on the 2nd day and conditions continued to improve. Finally, I added 1 more drop per gallon on the 3rd day and waited to see if it would get any better.
It's now 4 days since the last treatment and the water is crystal clear. In fact, this might be the clearest my water has ever been. This product worked extremely well for me and I plan on using it as part of my normal maintenance.
I am extremely pleased with the results and would recommend Acurel F to someone with similar problems.

I have tried everything under the sun for the past year to keep my tanks clear. Gravel Cleaning, water changes, every treatment you can buy and it did not help. I saw acurel and decided why not try it. This product is a MIRACLE! Dropped in the recommended dosage and it turned my two cesspools into eye candy! They are now crystal clear and have been ever since. I was about to sell and or give my tanks away.....and then I found acurel!

This is the best thing I bought to clear up my tank. I use it every time after doing a water change. Keeps my tank crystal clear. Unlike other products which use chemicals, this is all natural. I highly recommend it!

It is a good product but do not use it when trying to clear up a tank which is cloudy with sand. It will leave a huge layer of red sand clumps and will clog filters.

I researched this item on line b 4 i bought it hoping it was true to its word. Well it is this is the BEST stuff you can get I will not use anything else ever again. It does take longer than suggested on the bottle to clear up the whole take but when its done I give it over night to be clear it looks like the fish are swimming in thin air its awesome if you have problems with cloudyness especially after doing a water change or vacuming the gravel this is the stuff for you..........

I was skeptical, cuz i've tried every water additive they sell, was changing the filters regularly, vacuuming the gravel almost every day, (i have a messy oscar and some dirty goldfish) nothing worked, the water was still cloudy...might clear up a little with a major water change, but within a day or two, water was cloudy again! I tried this stuff, and it really works! Not in "hours" like they try to make you believe, but with a good water change, and adding a good amount of this stuff, within 2-3 days it cleared up and the water has stayed CRYSTAL CLEAR for over a week now! Thats a first.... I was and still am shocked! This is coming from a real person writing a real review LOL

This product is the best thing I have ever spent a few bucks on. My tank had ZERO visibility. I tried many other products and had no results. Someone randomly mentioned this product to me, and I bought it laughing to myself that this was going to be another waste. I was wrong. By the next day my tank was crystal clear. There were a few times through the process that my tank looked worse but just give it time. This stuff works!!

I tried Crystal Clear and Accu-Clear, both of which I thought sort of worked...until I tried Acurel...this product is AMAZING!! I'm not kidding, it cleared out all the cloudiness in my 20 gallon aquarium in 1 hour!! The other products worked for a few hours, then the cloudiness came back. I'm glad I can stop wasting my money on other products that don't do what they claim to do.
