2hr Aquarist APT Fix 500ml
Especially effective for BBA, hair/string/fuzz and most forms of filamentous algae.
Gently biodegrades completely.
Spot-dose up to 1ml per 10L every 24 hours.
no copper
Most algae treatments use compounds that contain Copper, which is a powerful biocide.
The problem is that copper, like other heavy metals, accumulate over time and do long term damage to the tank's ecosystem.
APT Fix uses an active compound that biodegrades naturally within 24hours, with no nasty residues.
Usage Methods
Drain and drip
This is an effective approach for removing algae on hardscape: wood and rocks. Avoid this method for plants.
Pause and spot dose
This is our usual approach to treat algae on plants. To increase effectiveness, pause the filter during spot-dosing (just a minute or however long it takes you to spot-dose:) And don't forget to turn the filter back on! Avoid this method for treating algae on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia and Riccia etc.) and Vallisneria (Tape Grass)
Shrimp safe as long as not overdosed
