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.

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.

The Carbonate Hardness (kH) or also referred to as alkalinity of water is the basis for pH values. The stability of pH can be ensured by raising carbonate hardness levels without effect on general hardness.Acids produced in closed circuit aquaria continuously reduce the carbonate hardness levels.   Carbonate Hardness Generator is a special blend of pH buffers that provide a sustained kH level for longer than if using just sodium bicarbonate. Prior raising of carbonate levels will avert drastic falls in pH resultant from these acids, acting to maintain a more stable pH.   Directions for Use: 4g (approx. 1 teaspoon) per 100L of water or 40g per 1000L of water raises carbonate hardness levels by 20ppm. Caution pH levels may rise. It is not recommended to raise carbonate hardness values by more than 20ppm per day.To calculate approximate aquarium capacity: Multiply the length x width x height (in cm) and divide by 1,000 for litres.

Aquasonic Algicide is a safe broad spectrum algae treatment that controls many types of annoying algae, while remaining gentle to aquarium plants. Algicide will not affect aquarium plants or fish, provided it is used in the correct dosage. Store in the closed, original container in a cool dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not store in direct sunlight. Dispose of empty container by wrapping paper, placing in a plastic bag, and putting the rubbish. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after use. Directions for Use: Do not use in aquariums containing fish intended for human consumption. Shake bottle vigorously before each application. Use at the rate of 1ml (20 drops) per 20 litres of aquarium water. Do not overdose as plant damage may result. Maintain aeration and filtration during treatment. Results should be evident after 7 days. Treatment may be repeated after 14 days if necessary. If algae persists, consider decreasing the amount of light the aquarium receives and increasing the frequency of partial water changes. 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. How to Prepare: To calculate approximate tank capacity: multiply length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1,000 litres.   First Aid: If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26; New Zealand 0800 764 766.

Aquasonic Paragone tablets aid in the control of most external fish parasites including Fish lice (argulus spp), Gill Flukes (Ergasilus spp) and Anchor worms (Lernea spp).   Directions for Use: Not to be used on fish intended for human consumption. Fish rubbing and scratching on objects is indicative of parasitic infestations. Para-Gone tablets aid in the control of most external fish parasites including: Fish lice (Argulus spp), Skin & Gill Flakes (Ergasilus spp), and Anchor Worms (Lernaea spp) in fresh and saltwater aquariums. Does not aid in the treatment of bacterial and viral infections.   Do Not Overdose: Do not treat marine invertebrates (shellfish & anemones). Remove from aquaria and wait 5 days after last treatment before returning to aquaria.*Para-Gone treatment may adversely affect species of Plecostomus and Bristle Nose type catfish, as well as Metynnis (Silver Dollar type fish).   Dosage and Administration: Use 1 tablet per 40 litres of aquarium water.
