View Product

APT Pure
View Product
Algae is easily triggered by spikes in Ammonia and damage to the tank's bacteria colony by Chlorine / Chloramines in tap water.
APT Pure's intelligent formula removes chlorine & chloramines and detoxifies heavy metals, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
top algae magnet
Organic waste and decaying matter are top algae triggers.
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.
the magic 70%
The best natural defence against algae is a healthy dominant plant mass. 70% of a tank's substrate should be planted.
Tanks with large exposed, un-planted areas are far more susceptible to algae, in the same way that fertile open fields invite weeds to grow.
no copper
The most powerful 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.
Both APT Fix and APT FIXLITE use active compounds that biodegrade naturally over 12- 24hours, with no nasty residues.
dedicated to your success
Only APT comes with an integrated methodology and success-system used by thousands of aquarists across 20+ countries.
