TetraAqua® Bactozym® 10 Caps~Ensures the rapid development of naturally-occurring filter bacteria.

• if used when setting up an aquarium, it allows a few fish to be added after only 24 hours
• causes enzymatic degradation of organic matter~• improves the quality and clarity of the water
• assists and accelerates the degradation of ammonia and nitrite by activating and promoting the development of nitrifying bacteria
• can be used to prevent the serious loss of filter bacteria during water changes and filter maintenance
• revitalises the filter after the use of medicines
• for both freshwater and marine aquaria

Bactozym works to accelerate the development, or "maturation", of friendly bacteria within aquarium filters. This helps to prevent New Tank Syndrome, which commonly occurs in aquariums with new filters, or when the filter has been damaged. In new aquariums, the use of Bactozym allows the first fish to be added after 24 hrs.

How it Works
Bactozym has a unique two-way action which removes harmful waste and speeds up filter maturation. It stimulates the decomposition of uneaten fish food using naturally occurring enzymes, and it creates ideal conditions for the rapid development of filter bacteria. This helps to avoid the accumulation of harmful pollutants during the early stages of setting up your aquarium. Bactozym can also be used to re-establish filters that have been damaged.

How to Use
Add Bactozym to all new filters, and after cleaning established filters. For new aquariums, add 2 capsules per 100 litres (22 gallons) of aquarium water, placing the capsules directly into the filter. Repeat every 7 days. After cleaning the filter, add 1 capsule per 100 litres (22 gallons) of aquarium water. ~10 Caps|PS1095|~1541~28896~~
TetraAqua® EasyBalance®~Keeps aquarium water and fish healthy, without the need for frequent water changes.

Available Sizes: 100ml; 250ml; 500ml~• refreshes aquarium water without the need for frequent, stressful water changes
• replicates the action of a water change, and adds additional elements not present in tap water
• promotes the health and condition of fish and plants
• helps to control algae
• actively reduces nitrate and phosphate levels
• stabilises pH and KH levels
• adds valuable vitamins and trace elements to the water
• reduces the need for water changes to a minimum of once every 3 to 6 months
• for all freshwater aquaria

Refreshing aquarium water is an essential part of good fish keeping, and is necessary in order to keep your fish healthy. Traditionally, the only way to do this was through time-consuming regular partial water changes. Now this is no longer necessary, as EasyBalance can replace the refreshing action of a water change. By using EasyBalance, you can reduce the frequency of water changes, to a minimum of once every 6 months. By reducing the number of stressful water changes, and adding essential elements to the aquarium, EasyBalance also helps to maintain improved fish condition. In addition, EasyBalance contains elements for encouraging healthy plant growth, and it actively reduces nitrate and phosphates, thus helping to control algae.

How it Works
EasyBalance works in two ways. Firstly, it replaces the refreshing action of a water change by replacing essential elements and vitamins, reducing and maintaining low levels of nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate, and by adding minerals to stabilise the pH. Secondly, it eliminates the need for stressful water changes, and adds essential elements that may be lacking in tap water, thereby helping to improve fish health and condition.

How to Use
Add EasyBalance to the aquarium at a rate of 2.5ml per 10litres (2 gallons) every week, to replace regular water changes. Perform a proper water change, using tap water conditioned with AquaSafe, at least once every 6 months. When using EasyBalance, ensure that the aquarium is properly aerated. EasyBalance is only suitable for use in mature tanks, with a fully functioning filter. It is still important to keep the gravel clean while using EasyBalance, through occasional siphoning with a TetraTec HydroClean gravel siphon.

TetraAqua® NitrateMinus 250ml~Now as Liquid form. For the permanent reduction of nitrate levels. Utilises natural processes within the aquarium to keep nitrate levels low and thus reduce algae growth.~Easy to use algae control that reduces nitrates to below 40mg/litre.

100ml size treats 88 gallons

250ml sizes treats 220 gallons

Safe with all fish and plants in fresh and salt water aquariums

• biological nitrate reduction in easy to use liquid format
• long-term improvement of the water quality
• helps control the growth of algae
• long-term reduction of the nitrate level to below 30 to 40 mg/l (depending on the aquarium conditions)
• higher dosages (up to double strength) can be used to decrease nitrate levels even further
• for both freshwater and marine aquaria

High nitrate levels can encourage excessive algal growth, which can make the aquarium look unsightly. Unlike other nitrate reducing products, which need regular recharging and replacing, NitrateMinus is simply added weekly to the aquarium. Also unlike many ordinary nitrate reducing products, NitrateMinus does not need to be added to a filter system to work, but is simply added straight to the water.

How it Works
NitrateMinus utilises a natural biological process called denitrification to remove nitrate. Under conditions of low oxygen, such as are found under the gravel in most aquariums, special bacteria use nitrate instead of oxygen to break down the NitrateMinus granules. By doing so, they steadily reduce existing nitrate levels, and maintain a permanently low level. In addition to removing nitrates, NitrateMinus also releases a low level of carbonates into the water, which helps to stabilise the pH of the water.

How to Use
Simply add the required dose of NitrateMinus to the aquarium once a week to keep nitrate levels low. NitrateMinus must be in an oxygen poor environment to work. The effectiveness of NitrateMinus may therefore be reduced in aquariums with under gravel filters.

TetraAqua® AquaSafe®~The world’s first water conditioner that transforms chlorinated tap water into safe aquarium water suitable for fish.

Available Sizes: 30ml; 100ml; 250ml; 500ml~• removes contaminants; highly effective, stable and long-term binding of heavy metals
• neutralises chlorine completely
• colloids protect and repair mucous layers
• contains magnesium and antistress factor vitamin B1
• for use when adding tap water, transporting fish and for quarantine treatment
• regenerates fish after treatment for disease
• for both freshwater ornamental fish and marine fish

At times it is necessary to add tap water to the aquarium, as part of a water change or a top-up. Tap water is designed for human use, and therefore contains high levels of chlorine to kill germs. In addition, it may contain varying levels of toxic heavy metals. Both chlorine and heavy metals are toxic to fish, and will cause them long-term damage and stress. Leaving water to stand will not remove all of these factors, and so is not an alternative to using a water conditioner. AquaSafe works by instantly neutralising these harmful substances, and should be used every time new water is added to the aquarium. In addition, AquaSafe also reduces stress, promotes wound healing and protects against infection, and adds a protective coating to the fish.

How it Works
AquaSafe contains special compounds that eliminate chlorine and bind up heavy metals. In addition, it contains colloids that coat the fish, protecting them against infection. AquaSafe also contains stress-reducing vitamins, and compounds that inhibit bacteria and fungi. All this means that your fish are well protected against the harmful effects of tap water, and the stress of water changes.

How to Use
Add AquaSafe to new tap water at a rate of 5ml per 10litres (2gallons), to make it safe prior to doing a water change. AquaSafe can also be added directly to the aquarium at the same dosage, to act as a general stress-reliever. When preparing water for water changes, it is best to treat it with AquaSafe in a bucket beforehand, and use boiled tap water to warm it to the same temperature as the aquarium.

TetraAqua® SafeStart 100ml~SafeStart contains a unique blend of ammonia oxidising bacteria to convert ammonia (harmful) to nitrite, and nitrite oxidising bacteria that convert nitrite (harmful) to nitrate (harmless).

Available Sizes: 100ml; 50ml~Patented blend of live nitrifying bacteria for immediate biological activation of filter.

Enables instant introduction of fish.

Prevents New Tank Syndrome & reduces harmful ammonia and nitrite.
BSafeStart contains a unique blend of ammonia oxidising bacteria to convert ammonia (harmful) to nitrite, and nitrite oxidising bacteria that convert nitrite (harmful) to nitrate (harmless).

Tetra SafeStart allows you to rapidly stock a new aquarium with fish. It contains a patented blend of the bacteria responsible for removing harmful ammonia and nitrite from aquarium water. These bacteria are not found in any other product, and work to instantly activate the filter. By removing ammonia and nitrite they create a safe environment for fish, allowing you to enjoy your new aquarium with the minimal amount of maintenance.

How it Works
SafeStart is the result of years of research into the bacteria responsible for ammonia and nitrite removal in aquarium filters. This has shown that the bacteria traditionally thought to remove ammonia and nitrite, and therefore included in other filter start products, are not responsible for maintaining a healthy aquarium. By identifying and then culturing those bacteria which truly are involved in ammonia and nitrite removal, SafeStart is able to offer a reliable means of quickly activating new filters. This in turn allows the instant introduction of new fish, and ensures a better environment for them.

How to Use
When setting up a new aquarium: Set the aquarium up and turn on all equipment. Wait at least 24hrs to ensure that the equipment is working correctly, and to allow the aquarium to reach the correct temperature. Then add 5ml of SafeStart per 6 litres of water, at the same time as adding the fish. We recommend a stocking level of adult fish equivalent to 1cm per litre. This refers to the eventual size of the fish, not the size when they are added (e.g. 10 Neon Tetras at 1.5cm each are equivalent to approximately 25cm when adult).

Following filter maintenance, water quality problems, or water changes: Add 5ml of SafeStart per 6 litres of water, following any aquarium maintenance. ~100ml|24571|~1541~27699~~
