APT Fix Lite Algae Treatment

APT Fix Lite Algae Treatment

The gentler way to beat algae!

A softer-touch algae treatment made for mosses, liverworts, Vallisneria and other delicate plants. Biodegrades completely. Safe where regular APT Fix is too strong.

Some of the most beautiful plants in the hobby are also the most sensitive — and that's exactly who APT FixLite is for. While standard APT Fix is the powerhouse for tackling stubborn algae, FixLite is the gentler sibling in the range, specially formulated for mosses, liverworts (Riccardia, Riccia and friends), Vallisneria (tape grass) and other delicate species that don't take kindly to stronger treatments. You get real algae control without putting your prized carpet or moss wall at risk.

It works the same clever way the range is known for: you spot-dose directly onto problem areas, so the algae takes the hit while the rest of your tank carries on undisturbed. And like the rest of the APT smart-solutions line, FixLite contains no copper or heavy metals — the active compounds biodegrade naturally within 12–24 hours, leaving no lingering residues behind. It's the choice of award-winning aquascapers for a reason.

How to use it
Pause your filter and spot-dose affected areas with the included calibrated pipette — up to 1ml per 10L. For lots of coverage, you can spot-dose beyond the limit and follow up with a 50% water change. Simple, precise, and kind to your plants.

Which one do I need?
Reach for FixLite if your tank is home to mosses, liverworts, Vallisneria or other delicate plants. If you're treating tougher algae on hardscape or hardier plants, standard APT Fix is your go-to. Many aquascapers keep both on the shelf.

Ingredients: 2.5% Carboxylic Acids.
