Carib Sea - Bio Magnet Clarifier

friedwilly · 03/20/2015, 11:16 AM

I am in the process of starting my first saltwater tank.

When I was cleaning the Carib Sea sand I came across a small bag of "Bio-Magnet Clarifier" and I am wondering should I use this stuff?

I want to start this tank clean and I am concerned that this product might have some ill affects. (i.e., Phosphates)

The question is to use or not use?

I think its meant to clear the foggyness of the tank when you initially add the sand. I didn't add it because I didn't think I needed it.

Supposed to do something like spread the bacteria around....I used it, made no difference as far as I can tell other than clear the water faster.....don't think you really need it
