### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crystal Clear Water!
*by A***L on 20 May 2019*

It really works...like in a matter for 5 to 6 hours the water quality started to improve! IDK if you can see it in the video but the water looks crystal clear to me even without the light, I can see the background poster of my fish tank very clearly! Plus its VERY GOOD FOR your FISH! just run it atleast for one week before you put fish in. In the bottle it says you can add fish instantly but that's actually not advisable, you need to give a minimum of one week for the tank to cycle properly to form the good bacteria! I'm waiting for my week to get completed and then I can start adding the fish
