Clear Water?

[col748]

I used to use carbon in filter to keep water looking really clear untill i was told not use carbon all the time.

Is there anything that i can use to make water look crystal clear, i've heard of UV filters are these any good?

Just place more filter floss or mating where the black carbon sponge was placed in the filter it keeps water clear as it removes fine particles from the water.
Or you could just add another filter sponge in its place.

yes, running a uv filter will make the water crystal clear.

any down sides to fish or plants with uv filter?

i don't think it does anything to the fish, but it may to compounds that plants need.
