Water Conditioners.
Fauna marin have a long line of water conditioners, here we will jsut sample a few.
Ultra Power Phos
Ultra Power-Phos is a new wet Iron-hydroxide based adsorber which safely removes silicates and phosphates from the aquarium. The pollutants are bound to the surface of Ultra Power-Phos and will not be released again.
Ultra Power-Phos can maintain very low nutrient concentrations in your tank. Unwanted Algae growth will be stopped and corals will show their natural colours.
Instructions and Dosing recommendation:
Please do all changes in the aquarium carefully and slowly. Start with 100 ml per 300 L of water. After 5 days the dose can be increased up to 150 ml per 300 L of water. Never use more than 200 ml for 300 L of water.
To obtain best results and maximize adsorbtion efficiency, place the material between two layers of filter wool or use a fluidized-bed-reactor.
Check phosphate concentration regularly with reliable test kits, e.g. from Salifert, Macherey & Nagel, or Merck / Rowa.
Do NOT use UltraPowerPhos in tanks that already have very low phosphate concentrations.
If phosphate concentrations start to increase again, exchange UltraPowerPhos for fresh material.
UltraPowerPhos is suitable for fresh and seawater. The material can warm up when getting wet for the first time. The red colouration of the water is caused by the fine dust attached to the adsorber. It is not harmful and vanishes quickly. Do NOT rinse the adsorber before use.
Ultra-Phos is a new aluminium based adsorber which safely removes phosphates and humic substances from the aquarium. The pollutants are bound to the surface of Ultra Power-Phos and will not be released again.
Ultra Power-Phos can maintain very low nutrient concentrations in your tank. Unwanted Algae growth will be stopped and corals will show their natural colours.
Keep away from children.
Not to be used for animals used for food production.
Do not inhale, do not swallow.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Instructions and Dosing recommendation
Please do all changes in the aquarium carefully and slowly. Start with 50 gr per 200 L / 50 gal. of water. After 14 days the dose can be increased up to 100 gr per 200 L / 50 gal. of water, do NOT overdose!
Check phosphate concentration regularly with reliable test kits, e.g. from Salifert, Macherey & Nagel, or Merck/Rowa.
In case the PO4 level starts to increase again, exchange Ultra-Phos for fresh material. Do not use more than 100 g (3.5 oz) per 200 L (50 gal). We recommend to place the material in a filter chamber with high flow, only there it will provide its maximum performance.
In case of extremely low PO4 levels and non-detectable Nitrate levels Ultra-Phos should not be used.
Ultra-Phos is extremely strong and suitable for tanks with a high nutrient load. Ultra-Phos also removes unwanted organic compounds and yellowness. In tanks with high organic load (yellowish water) it may take a little while before the PO4 reduction becomes measurable. This is a normal process, you will notice the color change of the Ultra-Phos from white to yellow and the much clearer water in the aquarium.
For a slower adsorption rinse the filled filter bag with osmotic water before use. To obtain best results and maximize adsorbtion efficiency, place the material between two layers of filter wool or use a fluidized-bed-reactor.
In case you use the material in a fluidized bed reactor, please consider the much higher efficiency of the material. Reduce the amount of Ultra-Phos by 50 % and carefully control the flow through the filter.
Ultra-Phos will become warm, when first immersed in water. Do not rinse the material.
Available in 500ml 1000 ml/2000 ml and 5500 ml
Ultra Life
Ultra Life as a carrier material to feed amino acids to clams
Mix a few drops of Ultramin S and Ultra-life and feed this to your Tridacna clams. You will be surprised to see the increase in coloration!
UltraLife is a highly active natural clay mineral that adsorbs Nitrate, Nitrite, and Phosphates. The pollutants will be bound onto the mineral and can be removed by the skimmer.
Its large surface area allows for easy colonization with bacteria. Its has a unique Ion-exchanger capacity. UltraLive efficiently binds ammonia, ammonium, prevents nitrite ad nitrate formation and reduces detritus. It removes unwanted yellowness and toxic substances. Ultralife increases the efficiency of the protein skimmer, especially when using food rich in fat, like SEAFAN or Ultramin F.
Instruction for use and dosing recommendations
Please do all changes in the aquarium slowly and carefully monitor the water quality!
Mix 1 Teaspoon in 100 ml of Reverse Osmosis or de-ionized water. Shake well for 30 seconds before use. The normal dose of 10 ml for 40 L of water can be increased up to threefold. In newly established tanks or with freshly introduced fishes use twice the normal dose. In tanks with high No2-, NH3-, NH4- concentrations, use the fourfold dose daily until nutrient levels come down.
UltraLife is a natural product that can be extremely helpful in many cases, it is NOT a substitute for regular water changes.
Highly active natural clay mineral
Binds ammonia, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, Phosphate
Removes unwanted yellowness and organic pollutants
Ultra Carb-L
Ultra-Carb L is an acitvated carbon specifically made for permanent and long-term use.
Extremely pure, vapour-activated and pre-washed activated carbon for efficient removal of yellowness, turbidity and harmful toxins, essential for maintaining good water quality in any aquarium. Ultracarb is almost entirely free of phosphate and has an extremely high capacity. Ultracarb is specifically made for permanent and long-term use but should be exchanged every 30 days. Suitable for freshwater and marine aquaria, cleans the water without any negative side effects
