Re: Clarifying agent



Hello Steve and all,

Which "clarifying agent" are we talking about? In wine production
bentonite and gelatin are used as clarifying agents. Are they also used
in aquaria? 

Or are people using "flocculating agents" which are used in waste water
treatment (although I doubt it)? Or something else?

Best,

George S
