Ammo-gone will neutralise ammonia, chlorine and chloramines, in fresh or salt water. When neutralising ammonia, use an Aquasonic Ammonia Test Kit to determine the level of ammonia present and the increase or decrease the dosage proportionally to neutralise it in one dose. In areas where ammonia or chloramines are a problem in tap water, Ammo-gone is essential. Use each time a new aquarium is installed, when water changes are made or transporting fish. If mixing salt water for marine aquariums, use Ammo-gone. Following the use of of Ammo-gone, use Aquasonic Water Conditioning Salts to create that ideal habitat. For trouble free saltwater, use Aquasonic Ocean Natures Sea Salt. For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children.   Directions for Use: To neutralise chlorine or chloramines use 5ml per 20ml of water. To neutralise ammonia, 5ml per 20l of water neutralise 0.75ppm ammonia. Ammo-gone has no effect on marine salts and can be use with invertebrates. Always treat new water before adding to your aquarium.   Note: Ammo-gone may bleach clothing if accidentally spilled. Ammo-gone may cause faulty readings with ammonia test kits that use Nessler's reagents.

In all aquarium systems, biological activity develops in your filter, and on the surface of gravels and decorations etc. These bacteria are essential to achieve a balance in your aquarium and different types of bacteria need to be present in the right proportions to break down waste and deal with ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, which can all be harmful to your fish. Every time you change or add something in your tank, or you clean it, you potentially upset the balance because you are effectively removing some of these bacteria.   Derivation of Ammonia Ammonia occurs in water from two commons origins: The decomposition of fish waste, decaying food and dead fish. Many water supplies now contain chloramines. The addition of some water purifiers to tap water containing chloramines releases the chlorine and leaves ammonia.   Toxicity and the Effects of Ammonia Ammonia concentrations of more than 0.1ppm can affect fish and marine fish are more sensitive than freshwater fish. Levels of less than 0.1ppm as a rule are harmless. However, when levels occur at 1ppm or greater, immediate action should be taken to alleviate the problem.   Dealing with Ammonia Ammonia that occurs as a result of fish waste is best dealt with on a constant basis by biological filtration, which, once established in an aquarium, will convert the ammonia to nitrate. Remove any uneaten food or dead fish before decomposition to minimise the source of ammonia. Ammonia may be neutralised in aquaria or shipment water by using Aquasonic Ammo-gone. Chloramines in tap water may be neutralised by Aquasonic Ammo-gone or Aquasonic Power Water Conditioner. In situations where there is a high number of fish and little or no filtration, e.g., fish holding ponds or shipment bags, some relief can be obtained with pH control. In such situations for freshwater, keep the pH below 7.0 and in saltwater 7.3.   Water Quality Ammonia creates stress and can cause fish deaths by lowering fish resistance to disease. Diligent testing of your water for ammonia is the best defence for the health of your fish.   To Break the Ammonia - Nitrite - Nitrate Cycle Perform a water change. Remove anything that can cause ammonia to form (e.g. dead organic matter or excess fish waste) from amongst the substrate (e.g. gravel cleaner). Use Aquasonic Ammo-gone to neutralise ammonia in the system.   The manual addition of live strains of nitrifying bacteria can also aid in kick starting the biological activity in the filter system.

Aquasonic Bactonex assists in the prevention of bacterial, fungal and protozoal (Velvet, whitespot, chilodonella, Trichodina & Trichodinella) infections in fresh and salt water fish.   When to Use: When water is changed. When new fish are added and in quarantine aquariums. When fish show signs of listlessness or are off feed.   Directions for Use: Not to be used on fish intended for human consumption. Ensure aquarium water is well aerated during treatment. Do not use activated carbon in the filtration system during treatment as this will remove the product from the aquarium water. If sub-gravel filtration is being used, slow down the flow rates during treatment. This product contains a dye which will stain if spilled.   Dose Rate: Add 10mL per 40 litres of aquarium water. Repeat after 5 days if necessary. DO NOT OVERDOSE. If improvement does not occur, consult your veterinarian or aquarium dealer.TO GIVE NUMBER OF LITRES: To calculate approximate tank capacity multiply length x width x water level height (all in cms) and divide by 1000 for litres.   Active constituents: Each mL of solution contains: 1.66mg Aminacrine hydrochloride and 0.025mg Methylene blue.   Storage: Store below 30C (Room Temperature).   Disposal: Dispose of empty container by wrapping in paper and placing in garbage.   Remember: High standards of aquarium management must be maintained to prevent disease, as fish diseases are often management related. Consult your veterinarian or aquarium dealer for accurate diagnosis and advice.

What is pH? Technically it is the measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration of a given sample of water. From this measurement it can be determined whether the water is acid, neutral or alkaline. The scale extends from 0 to 14. A pH between 0 and 7 is termed acid, and a pH between 7 and 14 is termed alkaline. The indicator in this kit has a pH range from 6.0 to 7.8 and is therefore suitable for most freshwater aquaria. At or below pH 6.0 the test sample would turn yellow. At or above pH 7.8 the test sample would turn blue.   Why pH Changes pH is not a constant factor and is subject to continual change due to influences like bacterial assimilation of waste causing acidity or calcium and magnesium compounds like shells or coral that cause alkalinity. Thus, under normal aquarium conditions, because of fish waste and unused food, the water would drift to acidity.   Directions for Use: Rinse a clean test tube and cap several times in water to be tested.  Fill to line (12.5ml) with water to be tested. Add 3 drops of Indicator solution Place the test tube on the white background of the colour chart, view vertically (down inside the test tube) with the light behind you. The colour in the test tube is best viewed with natural light. View immediately.   Adjust pH slowly.
