Re: [GSAS-Member] Frustrated with tank that wont clear up

I bought Seachem's Clarity.  It said that it would clarify in 1-2  
hours, but it hasn't made much of an impression.  It said that 3 times  
the suggested dose is safe, so after 2 hours, I'm going to redose it  
and see if it helps anything.
