Size: 30 ml
PRODAC Alga Control is a water treatment for freshwater aquariums which controls, prevents and eliminates the growth of algae and infusoria that is harmful to fish, and above all to aquatic plants. Green algae, not only grows on the bottom of the aquarium and on the decorations, but it can also develop on the foliage of aquatic plants impeding their growth, the brown algae turn the aquarium water an opaque brown color.

The 2hr Aquarist – APT Fix
Size: 200ml
The smarter way to treat algae.
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.
This is the most effective approach, but be careful not to let the plants dry out. Avoid this method for treating algae on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia and Riccia etc.) and Vallisneria (Tape Grass).
This is our usual approach. To increase effectiveness, pause the filter before spot-dosing. And don't forget to turn the filter back on! The effect should be visible by the next day.
The above shows the result of a single dose of APT Fix via spot-dose method. By Day 2, the inactive BBA would usually change color to red and/or white. These would either decompose, or serve as food for algae-eaters and other microorganisms. By Day 7, the leaf is now mostly free of algae.
The above shows the result of a single dose of APT Fix via the drain-dose method. By Day 2, the hair-algae has lost some of its green color. By Day 5, all the hair algae has been deactivated. You can remove it completely using a fine brush.
AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
While healthy plant mass is the #1 natural defence against algae, life is often unpredictable.
The filter or CO2 diffuser gets clogged. Grandpa overfeeds the fish. The auto-timer takes an unannounced holiday.
These shocks ( seemingly insignificant to us) weaken plants and give algae a window of opportunity to spawn.
APT Fix works to rebalance the system by targeting the fundamental weakness of algae- their comparatively less developed protective cell walls. When spot-dosed per the recommended dosage, it instantly arrests algae growth while allowing plants to recover.
This is the most effective approach, but be careful not to let the plants dry out. Avoid this method for treating algae on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia and Riccia etc.) and Vallisneria (Tape Grass).

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 defence against algae is a healthy dominant plant mass. Tanks with alot 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 outcompete 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.

Prodibio Bioptim 30 vials
Bioptim provides the BioDigest bacteria with the micronutrients needed to optimally purify marine water and improve water quality.
BIOPTIMÂ is a natural product that affects cellular bioactivators. It dynamises the cellular metabolism of most of the bacteria living in marine water aquariums and reinforces the biological reactions by increasing the number of bacteria and therefore optimising water quality.
BIOPTIM speedily accelerates the digestion of organic matter, reduces the BOD – biological oxygen demand – and therefore contributes to a raised Redox potential.
It also facilitates the elimination of nitrates and phosphates, which are an early warning sign of algae problems, and carbohydrates, and therefore helps to regulate decomposition odours and optimise water quality
JBL PROFLORA Florapol
- Long-term supply for the substate: long-term substrate fertiliser for freshwater aquariums
- Nutrient depot: contains all important plant nutrients such as iron and clay, stores nutrients and releases them as required
- Optimal promotion of plant growth means less algae growth. No phosphates and nitrates
- Use when setting up a new aquarium: mix nutrient substrate concentrate with substrate, cover with a layer of washed gravel/sand
- Contents: 1 packet Florapol. Effective for a minimum of 3 years
Prodibio BioDigest 30 vials
BioDigest, living bacteria for biological filtration
BioDigest is effective in both fresh water and marine water tanks and is a concentrated bacterial solution which biologically filters and eliminates aquarium waste
BIODIGESTÂ is made up of natural nitrifying, nitrate reducing and facultative bacterial strains selected for their ability to convert ammonia into nitrites, nitrites into nitrates and nitrates into nitrogen.
BIODIGESTÂ is particularly effective in the first two weeks. The speed at which the bacteria develop differs from one strain to another.
BIODIGESTÂ guarantees optimal purification proportions for a fortnight. If you want to speed up the purification process, you should not increase doses but instead should use the product more frequently.
Prodibio Start Up 30 vials
Start Up brings together Biodigest Start and Stop Ammo Start enabling you to quickly start up and populate a freshwater or marine water tank.
START UP combines STOP AMMO START and BIODIGEST START in the same pack. The pack enables you to quickly get biological filtration underway and to introduce the first fish within a few hours.
START UPÂ enables you to quickly introduce 1/3 of your toughest fish into your new aquarium (after four hours for freshwater tanks and 12 hours for marine water tanks).
Interpet Filter Aid
100ml
Interpet Filter Aid No.3 100ml polishes aquarium water to make it crystal clear
However good your filtration system, there are always minute particles present which find their way through the finest filter media.
These particles irritate fish gill membranes, stunt plant growth by filtering out light and ruin the enjoyment of seeing your fish in their full glory.
Interpet No.3 Filter Aid acts rapidly, clumping the fine particles together so that the filter can remove them, producing crystal clear water.
For use in coldwater and tropical freshwater systems.
One 100ml bottle treats 500 Litres

Prodibio Safe Travel 30 vials
Safe TravelÂ
is effective in freshwater and marine water and is a probiotic which reduces fish stress and combats pathogenic bacteria during transport. It is ideal when moving house.
The proliferation of pathogenic agents such as Pseudomonas, Aeromonas and Vibrio needs to be controlled and minimised in order to reduce bacterial infections in the water used to transport fish.
SAFE TRAVELÂ is a concentrated suspension of purifying bacteria selected for their capacity to develop in water used to transport fish (oxygenation and temperature, for example) and they do this by feeding on the organic waste produced by the animals.
The probiotic effect of Safe Travel prevents the development of pathogens by depriving them of food.
