Maintains excellent water quality for healthy fish, plants, and filter bacteria Reduces the need for stressful water changes, further aiding fish health Helps reduce and control algae Easy to use - simply add required amount once a week Stabilises aquarium pH Replenishes and maintains KH Adds all essential minerals, vitamins, and trace elements Actively reduces phosphate and nitrate Generates low concentration of CO2 for healthy plant growth
Tetra Safestart (XTJO15)
For an immediate aquarium start. Introduces live filter bacteria that allow the safe introduction of fish to new aquariums.New aquarium filters lack the beneficial bacteria that remove harmful ammonia and nitrite. If the aquarium is stocked too rapidly, this can lead to New Tank Syndrome, with fish being harmed by high levels of pollutants. To avoid this, traditionally it has been recommended to stock the aquarium slowly over a period of many weeks.Recent advances in technology have led to the development of SafeStart, a unique blend of bacteria responsible for ammonia and nitrite removal in aquariums - Nitrospira, Nitrosospira, and Nitrosomonas. These bacteria are included in high concentrations in SafeStart, and when added to a new aquarium quickly establish the biological activity of the filter. This allows fish to be added safely to a new aquarium, without the risk of dangerous rises in ammonia and nitrite. Enables safe introduction of fish to new aquariums Immediate activation of aquarium's biological activity Reduces dangerous ammonia and nitrite levels, thereby helping to keep fish healthy Also ideal for maintaining biological activity following water changes, filter maintenance, power cuts etc Can be used to resolve problems with high ammonia or nitrite in both new and established aquariums
Tetra Goldfish Aquasafe 100ml (XTJ018)
Makes tap water safe for goldfish by removing harmful compounds and adding beneficial substances.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 neutralises harmful elements in tap water, and adds beenficial substances to create healthy, fish-friendly water. Contains special compounds that eliminate chlorine and bind up heavy metals. Contains colloids that coat the fish, protecting them against infection. Contains stress-reducing vitamins, and compounds that inhibit bacteria and fungi, thereby mitigating the stressful effects of aquarium maintenance Contains substances that help create an ideal environment for beneficial filter bacteria Unlike most water conditioners, AquaSafe leaves no residues and is completely broken down to harmless substances
Tetra Aquasafe (XTJO21)
Makes tap water safe and healthy for 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 and chloramines to kill germs. In addition, it may contain varying levels of toxic heavy metals. These are all dangerous for fish, and must be removed. AquaSafe neutralises harmful elements in tap water, and adds beneficial substances to create healthy, fish-friendly water. Eliminates chlorine and chloramines Neutralises heavy metals Supports the fish's protective mucus layer, which may be damaged during maintenance Supports the fish's ability to cope with the stress Supports the development of beneficial filter bacteria Leaves no harmful by-products
Tetra Blackwater Extract 100ml (XTJ019)
Recreates the blackwater conditions found in many tropical streams and rivers.Many tropical fish, such as tetras, barbs, Discus and killifish, come from waters that are rich in natural peat and plant extracts. These compounds are important for health, reproduction and condition, and can be added to the aquarium using Blackwater Extract. Improves spawning success, health, and colouration in many species of aquarium fish Aids plant growth with selected minerals and trace elements Limits the growth of bacteria and fungi Helps to control algae, by reducing the penetration of light into the aquarium
Tetra Bactozym Capsules (XTJ029)
Speeds up the maturation of new aquarium filters, by creating an ideal environment for naturally-occuring bacteria. New filters lack waste-removing bacteria, which can lead to pollution of aquarium water with harmful ammonia and nitrite. By speeding up the colonisation of the filter with bacteria, Bactozym reduces the chances of water quality problems when setting up a new aquarium, or replacing an existing filter. Unique, two-way action which removes harmful waste and speeds up filter maturation Stimulates the decomposition of uneaten fish food using naturally occurring enzymes Creates ideal conditions for the rapid development of filter bacteria, by coating the filter in an artificial 'slime' layer Helps to avoid the accumulation of harmful pollutants during the early stages of setting up your aquarium. Also ideal for re-establishing filters that have been damaged Ideal for use in combination with Tetra SafeStart
Tetra Nitrate Minus (XTJO32)
For the long-term reduction and control of nitrate, leading to better water quality and less algae.Nitrate is a natural end product of healthy biological filtration, and may also be contained in tap water. High levels can encourage excessive algal growth, which can make the aquarium look unsightly. NitrateMinus reduce and controls nitrate, for improved water quality and better algae control. Harnasses natural process of biological denitrification Simply add to aquarium once a week - no need for resins that have to be replaced or recharged Maintains nitrate level below 30-40mg/l or less (in an average aquarium) Helps control algae growth Produces no harmful by-products and is completely safe
