Fresh-water anti-cyanobacteria kit

Cyanobacteria – act quickly!

Cyanobacteria are a real hazard in freshwater aquarium keeping. Green in colour with blue tinges, they adhere to the substrate, algae and plants in an aquarium, and release cyanotoxins. Cyanobacteria proliferate very quickly, and eventually start to kill your aquarium’s occupants. This often results in a crash, especially if the owner is away for any length of time.

Consequently, once they first appear in your aquarium, we recommend you act quickly, and apply the daphbio® anti-cyanobacteria freshwater treatment which should bring the infestation to an end.

Effects of the daphbio® anti-cyanobacteria kit  

The cyanobacteria will start to show signs of weakness from day four of the treatment. They shrink in volume and number as they start to die off. We recommend that you siphon the cyanobacteria and residue from your aquarium at this stage.

In the majority of cases, treatment needs to run for 5 or 6 days to completely eliminate the cyanobacteria, but if need be, you can continue the treatment for a further 5 days.

Once the treatment has ended, daily use of Bactofresh will ensure your aquarium is once again magnificent.

Experts recommend siphoning out your cyanobacteria before treatment starts, and again four days into the treatment. They can indeed release cyanotoxins that are deadly for its other occupants. Continue to pour Bactofresh in the morning for 4 weeks in a 30% sub-dose, preferably pouring the anti-cyano directly onto the cyanobacteria.

 during the anti-cyanobacteria treatment and for 10 days afterwards.
