AquaCleanse is used to eliminate
common chemicals in tapwater that are toxic to fish and other
aquarium creatures with no unpleasant odors.
These chemicals, such as chlorine, chloramines and ammonia, are in tapwater in order to make it safe for us to drink by killing bacteria, viruses and parasites.
However these same chemicals can also kill your fish which is why you need to add AquaCleanse to your tapwater before setting-up a new aquarium and doing routine water changes. AquaCleanse destroys the chemical bonds that form ammonia, chlorine and chloramines.

AquaCleanse Tapwater Detoxifier for Freshwater Aquaria
Dosing: Add 5 ml of AquaCleanse
per 10 gallons of tapwater and stir the water for 15 seconds.
AquaCleanse cannot be overdosed but adding very large amounts of AquaCleanse to your aquarium may lower the pH of the water if the water is poorly buffered.
How to use: When doing a water change it is best to add the tapwater to a clean bucket or trash can (don’t use soap to clean the vessel). Then add the required amount of AquaCleanse, stir and it is ready for use. We strongly recommend against adding tapwater directly to the aquarium and then adding AquaCleanse. Chlorine and chloramines are deadly to fish and even a short exposure can be very harmful to your aquatic pets.

New aquaria: Newly set-up aquaria
typically do not have sufficient nitrifying bacteria present to
handle the ammonia excreted by the fish in the water. This leads to
a build-up of ammonia and, after about 2 weeks, nitrite (see
biological filtration for more details) that can kill your fish.
This malady is called New Tank Syndrome (NTS). While AquaCleanse
can eliminate the ammonia we do not recommend continually adding
AquaCleanse to your aquarium. Instead add DrTim’s Aquatics One and
Only nitrifying bacteria which has been scientifically formulated
to quickly eliminate NTS.
Testing your water: AquaCleanse is designed to remove 2 ppm of chlorine, 3 ppm of chloramines and 1 ppm ammonia per 10 gallons of water. If your water contains higher values of these chemicals you will have to add more AquaCleanse. To be sure you have eliminated these toxic compounds it is best to test your water with simple chlorine and ammonia test kits. The amount of chlorine, chloramines, and ammonia in your water may vary through-out the year because your municipal water authority may add more chemicals after rainy periods or in the spring when algae tends to bloom in lakes and reservoirs. Note: AquaCleanse is not compatible with older style ammonia test kits that use what is commonly referred to as Nessler reagents. If you use these reagents the test result will return a false indication of high ammonia. To properly test the ammonia in your water use test kits based on the salicylate methods or test strips.

First Defense was developed to help
fish adapt to new environments by assisting the fishes’ natural
immune system.
Changing the environment of a fish causes stress that robs fish of essential nutrients and can weaken their immune system. First Defense is scientifically designed to provide stress relief and support the immune system, helping fish cope with stress due to bagging and shipping from the store to your tank, water changes, new fish additions, disease treatments, and other environmental changes.

First Defense Stress Relief for Freshwater Aquaria
Fish are subject to many
stressful events before becoming comfortable in your aquarium. For
instance, they were shipped in bags to the store and then chased
around the tank, netted and bagged before you took them home. Many
times fish are not fed much before shipping so that their waste
does not pollute the shipping bag but this can further weaken their
immune system.
As with people, a weakened immune system means a greater chance of the fish become sick with Ich or a bacterial infection. The mixture of immunostimulants and vitamins in First Defense have been demonstrated to help support the immune system of fish so they can fight off diseases.
First Defense also contains buffers to help maintain the water pH. Further, First Defense detoxifies heavy metals and removes chlorine and chloramines.
Dosing: Add 5 ml of First Defense per 10 gallons of aquarium water.
First Defense cannot be overdosed but adding large amounts may cause your protein skimmer to foam excessively.
How to use: Add First Defense to your aquarium water when setting-up a new tank, adding new fish or after partial water changes. While First Defense is not a medication or disease treatment it can be helpful to fish that are currently being treated for diseases by other means.

Clear-UP Natural Water Clarifier Freshwater Aquaria
Clear-UP clears cloudy white
water. Clear-UP is a 100% natural water clarifier, consisting of
beneficial bacteria, with the ability to 'floc' small particles
from the aquarium water.
The result is clear water without the use the harmful chemicals contained in other water clarifiers such as alum (that contains aluminum) and polyacrylamide (a potentially toxic chemical).
Directions: Shake well before using.
Dosing: Add 5 ml (a capful) per 10 gallons of aquarium water.
For best results temporarily turn the filter off, add Clear-UP over the entire aquarium water surface, and wait 10-15 minutes for the flocs to form and then turn the filter back on.
In extreme case, the water may not clear-up for 24 hours

Re-FRESH for Natural Fresh Sparkling Water
Re-Fresh revitalizes old,
green/brown aquarium water. Re-FRESH is a potent combination of
beneficial bacteria that work together to maintain clear water,
clean aquarium surfaces and eliminate unpleasant odors.
Because the condition of every aquarium varies it may be necessary to add Re-FRESH more frequently (every other day) to achieve desired results.
Directions: Shake well before using.
Dosing: Add 5 ml (a capful) per 10 gallons of aquarium water.
Re-FRESH should be added on a weekly basis to help maintain clear, clean and sparkling aquarium.
Caution: Re-FRESH may be harmful to snails and shrimp. Do not overdose on tanks containing these organisms. Wait 5 to 7 days after final dosing to add these organisms.

Eco-Balance friendly Probiotic Bacteria for a Balanced Aquarium Environment
Probiotics for Core System Health
Research has
demonstrated that friendly probiotic bacteria are key to
maintaining a balanced, healthy aquarium environment. The normal
processes in an aquarium upsets this balance which can allow
unfriendly bacteria and algae to dominate and this can negatively
effect water quality.
Eco-Balance uses friendly probiotic bacteria as a natural way to
restore and maintain a balanced aquarium environment that promotes
beneficial bacteria while helping to reduce the numbers of bad
bacteria resulting in a clean, healthy aquarium.
Directions
for Use:
CAUTION:
When using
for the first time consider a half-dose as the potent bacteria in
Eco-Balance may cause oxygen levels in the water to temporarily
drop.
Shake well before using.
Dosing:
Add 10 ml
per 10 gallons of aquarium water.
For best results Eco-Balance should be added weekly as part of a
routine aquarium maintenance program as this will allow the helpful
probiotic bacteria to continue to block out the unfriendly
bacteria.

Waste-Away Natural Aquarium Cleaner
Waste-Away sludge busting
beneficial bacteria will naturally dissolve the sludge and dirt
that accumulates in an aquarium and prevent the build-up of debris
when used on a regular basis.
Waste-Away is fast acting and specially formulated to remove aquarium gunk,
unclog gravel/coral beds, and keep filter pads freely flowing longer. This results in
better water flow, more oxygen and a healthier aquarium environment.
Waste-Away should be used on a regular (weekly) basis to keep sludge from accumulating which can negatively affect fish and corals.
Contains no phosphates
Directions for Use:
CAUTION: When using in a tank with a large amount of sludge consider a half dose
initially as the sludge reducing bacteria in Waste-Away may cause the oxygen
level in the water to temporarily drop.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING
Minimum dose 10 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water.
For best results Waste-Away should be added weekly as part of a routine aquarium maintenance program as this will allow the helpful probiotic bacteria to continue to block out the unfriendly bacteria.
A weekly dose will help keep your aquarium clean.
