Things You'll Need
- Fish Aquarium

- Diatomaceous Earth Refills (For Filter)
Instructions
Purchase an aquarium diatom filter and diatomaceous earth refills from your local fish store.
Open up the diatom filter and add the diatomaceous earth to the filtering chamber.
Insert the filter into the aquarium and plug the filter's power cord into the wall. Flick the filter's "On" switch to start the filtering process.
Scan the contents of the aquarium within the first two hours to see the filtration process. Tanks with larger concentrations of suspended algae may take longer to clear.
Remove the filter when the process is complete.
