ClariSea – Replacement Filter Floss SK5000XL

ClariSea SK5000XL

The ClariSea team have spent many months working to develop a new more efficient long-life fleece and this has now been released as the ClariSea XL Fleece, with the following benefits.

Increased flow through the media for longer life

• Improved dirt removal for cleaner water and darker rolls
• Reduced effect on skimmer foam when first changing a new roll.
• Improved water resistance of centre disposable core
• 40m roll length – 60% longer than the original 25m rolls.
• Made in Europe
• 100% recyclable polypropylene

Factors affecting the life of the fleece are:

1 – Water flow (volume)

2 – Filter installation height above the water.

3 – Dirty tank.

With most aquariums you will find that they act as large settlement chambers and that particles of food, detritus and dead bacteria settle within the sand or substrate. The clarisea will remove this detritus from the water before it gets a chance to settle but will also remove sediments from the substrate as it is stirred up by fish or manually. 

The rolls in the early days may last for a shorter length of time and should be seen to last longer and longer as the tank is cleaned.

4 – Greedy fish

Tanks with high stocking loads of hungry fish will dirty the roll faster but keep your aquarium sparklingly clean whilst removing uneaten food before it breaks down.

5 – Excessive Carbon Dosing

Carbon dosing works by growing bacteria in the water column that are then exported out of the system by skimming or filtration. Excessive carbon dosing can result in bacterial blooms which are seen as a slight cloudiness of the water. The ClariSea fleece is fine enough to remove these bacteria from the water but when in high volumes will blind the fleece and reduce its life. If you notice this then we suggest slowly reducing the amount of carbon source added. Equally the installation of the ClariSea after a Nitrate Filter will also reduce the life and give a pale coloured roll from the white bacteria.
