AQUASONIC - Methylene Blue Solution (100ml) aids in the treatment and control of white spot disease (Ichthyophthirius Multifiliis) and superficial fungal infections in freshwater aquarium fish. Also prevents fungal infection on fish eggs.   Directions for Use: Methylene Blue is an intensive dyestuff which may cause staining of aquarium equipment and adversely affect the helpful bacterial flora in biological filters. Remove activated carbon or other absorbent materials from filtration system and slow flow rate of sub gravel filtration for duration of treatment. Toxic to plant life at higher than recommended dose rate. Not to be used on fish intended for human consumption. Do not swallow.   Storage: Store below 30C (Room Temperature)   Disposal: Dispose of empty container by wrapping with paper and putting in garbage.   Dosage Rates: Use at the rate of 5mL per 20 litres of aquarium water. Harmful to corals. Do not overdose. Repeat treatment after 3 days if necessary. To calculate approximate tank capacity: length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1000 for litres.   Note: All fish benefit from a 25% fortnightly water change. When signs of disease are present a partial water change (25% of capacity) is recommended before commencing treatment and every third day thereafter before retreatment until cure is affected.

Aquasonic Bio-Tet tablets are a broad spectrum antibiotic that treats disease in ornamental fresh & salt water aquarium fish caused by tetracycline sensitive bacteria.   Directions for Use: Do not swallow. Do not use on fish intended for human consumption.Remove activated carbon or other absorbent materials from filtration system and slow flow rate of sub-gravel filtration for the duration of the treatment.Use of an isolated treatment tank as a hospital tank for affected fish is recommended and ensure the water is as similar as possible to the main aquarium (pH, temperature, salinity, etc.) Aerate vigorously during treatment.   Dosage Rate: Use 1 tablet per 20 litres of aquarium water. If conditions do not improve, consult your veterinarian or aquarium dealer. Replace aquarium water after successful treatment. To calculate approximate tank capacity multiply length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1,000 for litres.   CAUTION. Keep out of reach of children. For animal treatment only.   First Aid Instructions: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131126, New Zealand 0800 764 766 or a doctor (at once). If swallowed, and more than 15 minutes from a hospital, induce vomiting preferably using Ipecac Syrup APF.   Storage: Store below 30C (Room Temperature). Protect from light.

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 Ichonex assists in the treatment of white spot (Ichthyophirius multifillis) disease, without the toxic effects of conventional treatments and without staining.   Directions for Use: Do not use 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: Treatment should be over three days as follows: Initially add 5ml per 40litres of aquarium water. On days 2 and 3 use at half the initial rate.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.   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.   Storage: Store below 30C (Room Temperature). Replace lid tightly after use.   Disposal: Dispose of empty container by wrapping paper and placing in garbage.   First Aid Instructions: For advice, contact the Poisons Information Centre (phone Australia 13 11 26; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or a doctor (at once).
