POPULAR QUESTIONS

HOW DOES APT FIXLITE WORK?
APT FIXLITE contains a proprietary mix of carboxylic acids. These carboxylic acids selectively inhibit various processes in algae cells, while leaving higher order plants undisturbed due to their thicker cuticle layer. The active components react quickly with algae, but is quickly digested by natural microbes, with no accumulation of residues in the aquarium.

 

SHOULD I GO FOR APT FIX OR APT FIX LITE?

Go for APT FIXLITE if you have algae on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia, Riccia etc.) Vallisneria (Tape Grass) and more delicate plants (usually hybrids or rare species).

It is normal for algae to develop resistance over time. Nature is amazingly resilient, and they adapt! If APT FIXLITE does not work, try APT FIX. And vice versa. 

 

I HAVE ALOT OF ALGAE. HOW DO I COVER ALL AREAS?

Option 1: You can exceed the 1ml per 10L recommendation to cover all areas, and do a large (50%-70%) water change after that. Be careful to use dechlorinated water.

Option 2: You can spot-dose on 1 area today, and another area the next day. Do this over as many days as you need to cover all areas. Generally a single spot-dose will be effective for any particular area. This method is slower can can be used if you are keeping more sensitive livestock.

 

WILL IT KILL FISH/ SHRIMP?

APT FIX / APT FIXLITE do not harm healthy fish, shrimp and other livestock within their recommended dosage. Do not spot-dose directly on livestock. Of course, if you keep very sensitive livestock, you should avoid all products that give you any concern.
