ADA Clear Super
Activated carbon + microbial booster to clarify water & enrich your substrate environment
Product Overview
ADA Clear Super is a finely milled substrate additive composed of ultra-refined activated carbon combined with organic acids and nutrients. Its dual role is to adsorb dissolved organic compounds from the water and to promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms within the substrate.
By placing Clear Super at the base of your tank’s layer configuration, you help maintain long-term water clarity while improving substrate ecology.
Key Features & Benefits
Adsorption of dissolved organics
The activated carbon component helps bind and remove organic leachates, humic substances, and other dissolved compounds that cause water discoloration and reduce clarity.
Support for beneficial bacteria
Clear Super contains nutrients that encourage nitrifying and other beneficial bacteria to colonize both the substrate and the water column, contributing to a healthier nitrogen cycle.
Substrate + water column action
Some portion of the material remains active in the water column while the rest works within the substrate, making it a flexible additive for both layers.
Synergistic with Bacter 100
Using Clear Super together with ADA Bacter 100 (especially at the base substrate layer) tends to amplify its effectiveness—supporting microbial diversity while maintaining clarity.
Stabilizes substrate environment
By helping reduce organic load and fostering microbial balance, Clear Super helps maintain substrate stability and reduces the likelihood of foul zones.
