• Especially effective algae control for BBA, hair/string/fuzz and most forms of filamentous algae.
• Gently biodegrades completely. It is an effective treatment algae control for cyanobacteria/BGA.
• APT FIX contains a proprietary formulation of epoxy aldehydes. The aldehyde components are protein crosslinkers that deactivate algae cells by binding to their proteins. The active component activates in water, but is quickly broken down by biological microbial action, resulting in no bio-accumulation in the aquarium ecosystem in the long run. This enables APT FIX to be a safe and effective inhibitor for various freshwater algae.
• Fish and Shrimp safe.
• Gently bio-degrades
• Copper-free.

The most effective way to avoid new-tank algae problems is to properly cycle the tank before planting and introducing fish.

Inadequate Cycling often results in Diatoms (brown fuzz on the edges of leaves or thin, brownish spider-web like strands) or Green Water (which is triggered by excess organic waste). Also, avoid spot-dosing on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia and Riccia etc.) and Vallisneria (Tape Grass) as their cell structures are much more similar to algae than other plants and are therefore more susceptible to being affected.
