Dr. Tank Cyanophyta Algae Remover

Dr. Tank Cyanophyta Algae Remover

Dr. Tank Cyanophyta Algae Remover is an aquarium algae treatment for hobbyists dealing with cyanophyta algae in their tank. It is applied as a spot treatment, so you put the solution directly onto the affected areas rather than dosing the whole tank.

Key Benefits

• Designed to treat and eliminate cyanophyta algae in aquariums
• Targeted application: the solution goes directly onto each algae spot with a dropper
• Visible progress: the algae lighten in colour, which indicates they are dying, and then gradually disappear
• Can be repeated daily if the algae are still present
• Works with a dose table on the packaging, so you can follow the daily dose for each spot

How to Use

• Fill a 20 ml tube with warm tap water. The treatment dissolves in about 1 hour.
• Pause the filter for 30 minutes.
• Use the dropper to apply the treatment at each algae spot, following the daily dose table on the packaging.
• Watch for the algae to lighten in colour. This indicates they are dying, and they will then gradually disappear.
• Repeat the treatment daily if necessary.

Dosage

The amount to apply at each spot is given in the daily dose table on the packaging, so check it before every treatment. The treatment can be repeated daily if necessary. If you are treating for more than 5 days, perform a 50% water change before redosing.

Suitable For

• Aquariums affected by cyanophyta algae
• Aquarists who prefer to treat individual algae patches directly rather than dose the entire tank
