Product information

Nature at Home – Home for fish, invertebrates and plants
Fish and invertebrates need to feel as much at home in the aquarium as in the wild Transform your aquarium water into biotope-like water to protect your aquarium dwellers. Clean aquarium water – optimal water quality. When setting up a new aquarium, during partial a water change and after the use of remedies. Tap water contains heavy metals, such as copper, zinc and lead. To make the water suitable to the requirements of the fish, it must be free of heavy metals, chlorine and chloramine. The water is made suitable for fish by neutralising these substances using dedicated water conditioners. With its aloe vera, Biotopol also ensures that mucous membranes, gills, skin and fins are protected. Aloe vera provides protection from stress, protects the fish’s mucous membranes noticeably and reduces the risk of disease with its vitamin B complex. Chelators enclose heavy metals and aggressive substances are removed during the next partial water change. Chlorine is transformed into harmless chloride, dangerous chlorine and chloramine are neutralised.
Use for: water change and when setting up a new aquarium; to strengthen the fish after treatment.
Always use one hour before the use of bacterial starters, such as Denitrol.

Advantages of the JBL water conditioners:
Pollutants in the tap water are neutralised

FAQ
When and how exactly is the water conditioner needed?

If you carry out your partial water change with a bucket, it is simple: always add the dose of water conditioner into the filled bucket (e.g. for the 10 l bucket content). However, if you are using a hose, add the dose of water conditioner to the aquarium BEFORE you add fresh water. This allows problem substances in the tap water, such as chlorine or lead, to be bound immediately, before they can do any harm. Please note that under certain circumstances this method could be fatal for shrimps and invertebrates, as they should NOT come into contact with any copper present in the tap water. If you have shrimps and invertebrates you should only follow the bucket method, in which the copper in the bucket is already bound by the water conditioner BEFORE it enters the aquarium.

How long should you wait before adding other products after using Biotopol?

Plant fertilisers, such as Ferropol, can be added straight afterwards, since the trace elements, which are susceptible to oxidation, are protected through the chelators in the fertiliser. We generally recommend you wait 30 – 60 minutes between doses when adding medications.

Perfekt für den Einsatz im Garnelenbecken.

So spart man sich die extra Vitamingabe, da es hier enthalten ist.

Eine kurze Wasserfärbung verschwindet binnen kurzer Zeit.

Top!
