The gentler way to treat algae.
Specially designed for Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia, Riccia etc.) Vallisneria (Tape Grass) and more delicate plants. Biodegrades completely.

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.

APT Fix cleverly targets the fundamental weakness of algae- their comparatively less developed protective cell walls. When spot-dosed, it instantly arrests algae growth while allowing plants to recover.

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.

Dominant Plant Mass – The best natural defense against algae is a healthy dominant plant mass. Tanks with a lot of exposed, un-planted areas are far more susceptible to algae, in the same way that fertile open fields invite weeds to grow. Aim to have at least 70% of the substrate planted. Plants are like trees in a forest. With the right conditions, they naturally out-compete algae.

Top Algae Magnet – The top algae trigger is organic waste and decaying matter. Never over-stock a tank in its early months. Livestock waste contributes significantly to algae issues in new tanks (< 3 months old). Regularly change water the 2Hr Way and remove old/ decaying leaves. Stem plants require replanting of the healthy tops after trimming once or twice. Old deteriorating stems invite algae to bloom.
