This is a gradual, biological process that avoids harsh chemicals, offering a low maintenance option for those seeking a more natural path to clearer water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal uses and settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse Summit 130 barley straw bales in decorative ponds, garden ponds, fountains, and fish tanks where clear water is desired.
