Product Overview
Dymax Clear Mix is a premium macro-porous synthetic polymer adsorbent engineered to eliminate cloudy water, stubborn organic waste, and dark tannin discoloration from aquariums. It polishes water to absolute clarity without stripping essential trace elements, making it an indispensable addition to high-tech planted aquascapes, heavily stocked community tanks, and breeding setups.
Key Features & Benefits
-
5x Higher Efficiency: Outperforms standard filtration media by capturing and holding significantly higher capacities of nitrogenous organic waste.
-
Removes Wood Tannins & Cloudiness: Quickly strips yellow driftwood tannins and floating micro-particles to restore crystal-clear water clarity.
-
Selective Adsorption Action: Target-absorbs organic impurities and waste precursors while having minimal impact on trace elements and plant fertilizers.
-
Regenerable & Reusable: Synthetic polymer beads change color from light tan to dark brown as they exhaust, and can easily be regenerated using a standard household bleach soak.
-
Versatile Media Bag Compatible: Easily packs into fine mesh filter bags for placement in canister filter trays, HOB chambers, or internal media towers.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know when my Dymax Clear Mix is exhausted?
Dymax Clear Mix visually changes color as it adsorbs organic waste. The polymer beads will gradually darken from a light cream/tan color to deep brown or black, indicating it is time to regenerate or replace the media.
2. How do I regenerate spent Dymax Clear Mix?
Soak the dark, exhausted media in a 1:1 solution of household non-scented bleach and water for 24 hours in a well-ventilated area until the beads return to their original light color. Rinse thoroughly, then soak in fresh water treated with a heavy dose of aquarium dechlorinator before placing it back into your filter.
3. Will Dymax Clear Mix strip liquid fertilizers out of my planted tank?
No, Clear Mix is specifically formulated to adsorb organic nitrogenous waste and larger organic molecules rather than essential inorganic trace minerals and liquid plant fertilizers. However, this product will remove tannins from the water column, so it should be avoided if tannins are desired in the aquarium.
