Dr. Tank Cladophora Algae Remover

Dr. Tank Cladophora Algae Remover

Dr. Tank Cladophora Algae Remover is a spot-treatment solution for aquarists who need to deal with Cladophora algae in their aquarium. You apply it directly to the affected areas, where it lightens and eliminates the algae.

Key Benefits

• Designed specifically for treating Cladophora algae in aquariums
• Applied directly to each algae spot, so you treat the problem areas rather than the whole tank
• Visible progress: the algae lighten in colour, which indicates they are dying, and then gradually disappear
• Can be repeated daily if needed, with a clear water change step for longer treatments

How to Use

• Fill a 20 ml tube with warm tap water. The treatment dissolves in about 1 hour.
• Pause your filter for 30 minutes.
• Use the dropper to apply the treatment at each algae spot, following the daily dose table on the packaging.
• Watch the algae. Their colour will lighten, showing that they are dying, and they will gradually disappear.
• Repeat the treatment daily if necessary.
• If you are treating for more than 5 days, do a 50% water change before redosing.

Dosage

The amount to apply at each algae spot is set out in the daily dose table on the packaging, so check it before every treatment. Treatment can be repeated daily if necessary. Once treatment goes beyond 5 days, a 50% water change is needed before you dose again.

Suitable For

• Aquariums affected by Cladophora algae
• Aquarists who want to target individual algae patches by direct application
