Back Sera Aquarium treatments For Sera Filter Media Click this text Protazol Sera Protazol (formerly Ciliol) is a ready-to-use solution to fight single-celled parasites of freshwater fish The treatment ensuresvery  quick  success -Small white spots on the fins and the body surface of the fish are characteristic symptoms of the white-spot disease (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, shortly called Ich). - Whitish-grey mucus indicates that the fish are affected by the bean-shaped flagellates (Ichthyobodo or Costia). - A whole lot of other parasites (such as the heart-shaped ciliates Chilodonella and Trichodina) affect mostly weakened fish. - White cotton-like tufts, particularly on wounded areas of fish or spawn are typical for fungal diseases (Saprolegnia or Achlya). If possible, it is recommended to have the diagnosis secured by a microscopic examination of smears. Use and dosage: Add 1ml of Sera Protazol per each 20 litres of aquarium water. For freshwater only. Protazol was formerly known as Alpha-Biocare Ciliol.     Protazol  25ml   £8.99 Freshwater aquarium only   Very effective against white spot will clean an aquarium in 3 hrs Will require an 80% water change 24 hour after treatment. Usually one single treatment is all that is needed.       Tremazol Sera Tremazol (formerly Moneol) is a ready-to-use solution to fight parasitic flatworm infections with aquarium fish. The drug ensures quick therapeutic success and is well tolerated by the fish. General signs of an infection with parasites are scratching against decorative objects in the aquarium, jammed fins, rapid breathing, feeding reluctance and slimming, reduced mobility, and darkening of colours. If the fish are affected by gill worms they breathe rapidly, in some cases one gill cover is raised more than the other one. An infection with skin worms is typically diagnosed by the fish holding back the tail fin and scrubbing against decorative objects in the aquarium. In case of tapeworm and scale worm infections the fish usually lose weight. If the fish are affected by gill worms add 1 ml Sera Tremazol per each 15 litres of tank water. Pour the substance from the dosing mug into the water spreading it all over the surface and stir it quickly by means of a spoon or stick. At least 80% of the water must be replaced about 8 hours after the treatment. If the water gets dull before, do the water change immediately. Carry out a second treatment with subsequent water change after 8 days. Two treatments each will be necessary to cure gill worms, as these parasites produce eggs in which the embryos cannot be reached by the pharmaceutical substances.   Tremazol  25ml   £10.49     Fresh water and marine aquariums The second treatment hits the then hatched worms, too. In case of skin worm, tapeworm and scale worm infections give 1 ml Sera Tremazol per each 20 litres of water into the tank. A single treatment will be sufficient for skin worms, which do not produce eggs, and for tapeworms and scale worms.At least 80% of the water must be replaced about 6 hours after the treatment. Tremazol was formerly known as Alpha-Biocare Moneol. Filter Biostart formally know as Turbo clear sera filter biostart sera filter biostart should be used in new filters, directly on new biological filter media and after filter cleaning. sera filter biostart immediately accelerates the biological filter performance, and sets an end to sludge deposits and unpleasant odors. The enzymes break down organic material (uneaten food, fish waste) into smaller fragments. These are then further broken down by the highly active micro organisms in the filter    Filter Biostart 50ml   £4.49 Treats  2000 litres fresh water   Sera Ammovec Sera Ammovec is a special blend of purification bacteria which can be used in fresh or saltwater. Bacteria quickly develop a natural and functioning nitrogen cycle. Sera ammovec prevents ammonium and nitrite problems and safely reduces the concentration of already existing pollutants. Works really well in all freshwater aquariums, alone or in conjuction with Sera Nitrivec. For use with Freshwater and Marine Aquarium         Sera Ammovec 100ml   £4.49       Sera Ammovec 250ml   £11.49   Sera aquaria clear Green Water is usually caused by a micro-sopic algae, that is so small that is flows right through the filter. How do you fix it?     The quick fix. Make sure that your kH value is at least 4 to 8 degrees kH Add fine filter wool to you filter Add Sera Aquaria-clear to the water Your water should be clear of the green within about 3 hours Remove the filter material Sera Aquaria-clear is referred to as a flocking agent.  It causes the very tiny particles of algae to stick together, so as the water passes through the filter the 'clumped' pieces of algae will get stuck in the filter       Aquaria Clear 100ml   £3.49     Aquaria Clear 250ml   £5.99   Sera Toxivec sera toxivec contains the innovativeQuickClean Formula and immediately removes dangerous pollutants threatening fish and filter bacteria from the aquarium water. The parallel efficacy against different kinds of pollutants makes it especially valuable. The quick effect of sera toxivec removes ammonium and nitrite in no time. Therefore it prevents the conversion into nitrate and immediately supports prevention of annoying algae growth. Furthermore, it removes aggressive chlorine from tap water. Also, it is effective against remainders of disinfectants or medications applied. However, sera toxivec can do even more: It also binds toxic heavy metals such as copper, zinc, lead or even quicksilver/mercury. Therefore, these pollutants cannot harm the fish nor the useful bacteria within the biofilter. Thus the frequency of water changes will be reduced. If need be, e.g. with particularly high pollution levels, higher dosage is possible with sera toxivec without any problems. A second addition after one to two hours is also possible.         Toxivec 100ml   £3.50   Toxivec 250ml   £7.99   Toxivec 500ml   £12.99   Toxivec 5000ml   £44.99     1, Remove chlorine. 2, Remove chloramine 3, Provide a protective coating to the fish. 4, Stabilise pH and hardness. 5, Bind heavy metals. 6, Remove treatments from the water. 7, Remove ammonium and nitrite. 8, Prevent high nitrate levels.   Sera Ectopur For prevention and combat against fungus and ectoparasites in freshwater and saltwater. Sera ectopur contains various oxygen-emitting salts. The special composition allows oxygen to continue to be released over a long period of time. Sera ectopur is an ideal support for treatment with a sera remedy product. One 5 g dose of Sera Ectopur in 50 litres of water every two weeks reduces stress and prevents oxygen deficits. Sufficient for 600 litres aquarium water. Sera Ectopur 100ml   £3.49       sera pH-minus safely lowers the pH value in freshwater aquariums.
