If your aquariums are not new and previously had fish it is recommended to sterilize them. The most economical method is to use household bleach* at 50ml\/100L of aquarium water for 24 hours. After that empty out the water and rinse the aquarium well and remove the rinsing water. Fill back the aquarium and add an aquarium water conditioner at a normal dose.

Not every clear water means healthy fish, but it must be \"good water\". In a suitable environment, aquarium fish will maximize their beauty with all the most colorful colors. Not only that, fish eat more, thoroughly digest food, absorb many nutrients necessary for the body to grow quickly, with less loss, less disease, and uniform size... When the farming environment changes in a negative direction, it will cause negative effects, causing growth and reproduction to decline. Diseases arise, directly affecting the survival rate and uniformity, especially making the fish color gradually fade to discoloration, and worst of alll, fish die en masse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome the above conditions, people often use probiotics. Probiotics are biological products containing beneficial living microorganisms. Depending on the intended use, these microorganisms can be bacteria or fungi.

Over a long period of time, if ammonia is not cleaned up, the increasingly high concentration will affect the ability of plants and animals to grow in the lake. More seriously, Ammonia causes fish to lose their appetite, become fazy, and easily die.

Place the fish in a tub with clean water (with no chlorine or chloramine and without any chlorine removal chemicals) add an air stone for aeration. Add the amount indicated in the table above for every 10 liters.\u003cbr\u003eKeep the fish in the bath for a maximum of 5 hours, keep an eye on the fish during this period. If you notice signs the fish can’t tolerate the bath anymore, remove it to its aquarium. This bath can be repeated daily up to 5 days.\u003cbr\u003eExample If your water has pH 7.0 and GH = 6 dH, then the corresponding dose is 50ml from the stock solution to every 10 Liter. If your bath is 30L you will add 50ml for every 10L = 50x3 = 150ml.\u003cbr\u003eDiscus long bath Add 1 level spoon (included) or 1g PROTECT X powder to every 330L of aquarium water.

At first signs of distress end the treatment. Here again water hardness as well as pH are two important parameters to consider to adapt the concentration to your own conditions. Always make a small test first.\u003cbr\u003eOTHER APPLICATIONS Tank disinfection During the production stops, it is of major importance to thoroughly clean and disinfect the tanks and ponds when they are empty to avoid contamination of the next production lot. Start by cleaning to remove the organic matter and then disinfect by spraying or rinsing with a 1% PROTECT X solution (or with a 2% in case of heavy contamination). How to prepare 1-2% solution, dissolve 1 spoon (1g) for every 100ml water (for 2% use 2 spoons). Equipment disinfection Spray all equipment used in the fish farm with a 1% PROTECT X solution or dipped the equipment into the PROTECT X solution for 30 min.

Water pH and hardness are two important parameters to consider to optimize the PROTECT X concentration. As a rule, with acidic pH, a lower concentration should be used and with increasing water hardness, a higher PROTECT X concentration is recommended. Also, if using a biofilter in a recirculated water system, special attention must be taken. Fish egg disinfection To reduce surface contamination, fish eggs can be dipped in a 1 g\/l PROTECT X solution for 1-5 min followed by a clean water wash. The time can change based on water condition and size of the eggs, it is better to do this dip in neutral to high pH and normal to hard water, rather than soft acidic water.
