Using it the right way

ClearMec Plus is meant for freshwater aquariums only. It comes ready-packed in two filter bags, so simply place them in the filter after the mechanical sponges, where water flows through them steadily. The 600ml pack treats 150-300 litres, so larger tanks need more than one pack. Because it takes up nitrate and phosphate, it suits tanks with algae problems or heavy fish stocks, but in heavily planted tanks it competes with plants for nutrients, so check whether you need it at all. Test nitrite, nitrate and phosphate regularly; when values start to climb again, the material is exhausted and should be replaced.

Good to know

Place it in a well-flowing part of the filter, and replace it when water tests show pollutant levels rising again.
