Best option for water clarity

[kevensquint]

Hi, so I was wondering what you've used that made a really noticeable impact on improving water clarity. I run UV and the tank does not have any issues. The thing is, its 3ft wide by 6ft long set up peninsula style. So I look right through the widest parts of the tank for viewing. Especially looking down the 6ft length, by say the 4-5' point the water is not super clear. I tried a bit of carbon and it helped for 4 days then back to the usual not perfect deal. I'm considering ROX but previously it seemed to negatively affect my SPS. A rollermat ? What have you found to be good and not affect the corals? Thanks

There is a thread on here about coral snow, that creates really cloudy water for a little bit, then really clear, the pics on that thread are insane! clearest water ever!
I also have pretty clear water, and all i run is a UV

It's @SunnyX Thread with calcium carbonate. Works great, I use it weekly.

I rely on high flow and mechanical filter+ lots of live rock, skimmer but no sand( bare bottom) no UV. Could it also be that my humongous Deresa filters lot's of stuff?
You could also run ozone if you dare.

I use brs rox carbon. No issues with my acros. Keeps water ultra clear. Plus regular water changes.

Ozone. Nothing else comes close

Ozone makes it look like the fish are floating in the air clear

Never heard of coral snow before, but going to look into it now haha

Diatom filters can be less than 1 micron. They are amazing, but they clog up fast. I have never seen anything polish the water better.
