Thanks.
No problem.

I was very close to attempting the use of a clarifier but the water cleared after shocking and running the filter for a few days straight. I am glad that it did because I really didn't want to try it.

I would hold off on adding anything out of the "norm". There are some people on the site that have used clarifiers and there are others that state they don't or would never use them.

Clarifier is a flocculant and supposedly clumps fine particles together so they can be filtered.
