When to use FRESH START.
When starting a new aquarium or carrying out regular water changes.
Whenever you top up your aquarium with tap water.
If you suspect heavy metal poisoning.
Always follow enclosed product directions for use.

Many of the nutrients which are essential for healthy plant growth are not present in the artificial aquarium environment. Due to special formulation which omits nitrates and phosphates and supplies the correct balance of trace elements, FLORA BOOST will ensure optimum plant growth without stimulating algal problems.
When to use FLORA BOOST.
Regularly to stimulate plant growth.
To condition water for plants in a new aquarium.
When plant leaves show signs of yellowing.
When plants are dying or disintegrating.
When existing plant food is stimulating algal growth.
Harmless to all fish species and filters.

However good your filtration system, there are always minute particles present which find their way through the finest filter media. These particles irritate fish gill membranes, stunt plant growth by filtering out light and ruin the enjoyment of seeing your fish in their full glory. FILTER AID acts rapidly, clumping the fine particles together so that the filter can remove them, producing crystal clear aquarium water.
When to use FILTER AID.
When water is cloudy.
After general tank maintenance has stirred up fine material.
To clear white clouding caused by bacterial blooms.
Always follow enclosed product directions for use.

Excessive light or nutrients stimulate an unsightly and potentially dangerous algae bloom in aquariums, which can effect oxygen and pH levels, making the water highly alkaline and thus unsuitable for fish. GREEN AWAY clumps the individual suspended particles together so that they become trapped in the filter or sink to the bottom. It does not remove filamentous algae.
When to use GREEN AWAY.
When water becomes cloudy with brown colouration or green algae.
Always follow enclosed product directions for use.

Fish live in their own toilet; the waste they excrete remains in the aquarium and causes fish diseases and can be lethal. An established filter contains bacteria, which breakdown the fish waste. Fish health problems occur in new aquariums because filter bacteria take several weeks to become established. FILTER START contains cultures of selected bacteria to rapidly start up essential waste breakdown cycles.
When to use FILTER START.
When maturing a new filter of media, especially when filter foams are new or have been replaced
When test kits show your filter is not working properly
Once a month to ensure optimum filter function
