APT FIXLITE – Gentle Algae Treatment for Sensitive Aquariums

APT FIXLITE is the aquarium algae treatment designed for sensitive planted tanks. It delivers powerful results without harming shrimp, mosses, Vallisneria, or liverworts — making it the ideal solution for aquascapes where other treatments fail.

Why Choose APT FIXLITE for Your Planted Tank?

Many algae treatments rely on copper or harsh chemicals that damage delicate plants and inverts. APT FIXLITE is a copper-free, bio-compatible algae remover made specifically for soft plant species and livestock-sensitive aquariums. It uses a biodegradable carboxylic acid base that leaves no residue and breaks down naturally within 24 hours.

Safe for Shrimp, Moss, and Vallisneria

If you keep shrimp, snails, or soft aquatic plants, you’re already limited in what you can safely dose. APT FIXLITE stands out by offering:

• Shrimp and snail-safe formulation

• No damage to mosses, Riccardia, or Riccia

• Safe for Vallisneria and other root-sensitive species

• Fully biodegradable with no lasting residue

Fast, Visible Results on Common Algae Types

APT FIXLITE is effective against:

• Black Beard Algae (BBA)

• Blue Green Algae (BGA)

• Staghorn algae

• Hair and fuzz algae

Most users see visible breakdown of algae within 48 hours, with full deactivation by Day 5–7 using consistent spot-dosing. Its performance is further enhanced by good maintenance and planting density.

How to Use APT FIXLITE

Spot-Dose Method

• Pause your filter

• Use up to 1ml per 10 liters of tank volume

• Apply directly to affected algae

• Repeat daily as needed

Broad Treatment

• For large areas, exceed the 1ml/10L dose

• Perform a 50% water change after treatment

Hardscape-Only Algae

• Drain the tank to expose hardscape

• Drip FIXLITE directly onto algae on rocks or wood

• Let sit, then refill — avoid using this method on plants

Clean Chemistry That Supports a Healthy Tank

APT FIXLITE biodegrades fully within 12–24 hours and contains no copper, formaldehyde, or persistent chemicals. It protects your beneficial bacteria and does not disrupt your tank’s nitrogen cycle.

Build Long-Term Resistance to Algae

Fixing algae short-term is one thing. Preventing it is where APT FIXLITE becomes part of your full strategy:

• Plant at least 70% of your substrate

• Remove dead leaves and stem trimmings

• Keep filters clean and flow balanced

• Replant healthy tops instead of leaving decaying lower growth

Q&A: APT FIXLITE – Common Questions

Is APT FIXLITE safe for shrimp and snails?
Yes — it contains no copper or harmful metals. When used as directed, it’s safe for all inverts, including Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp.

Will it damage moss or tape grass?
No — it was formulated specifically for mosses, liverworts, Riccia, and Vallisneria. It will not burn or bleach delicate plants like stronger algaecides.

How soon will I see algae die-off?
Hair and fuzz algae typically lose color within 48 hours. Full removal takes 5 to 7 days depending on water quality and tank conditions.

Can I use it in tanks with CO₂ and fertilizers?
Absolutely. APT FIXLITE is compatible with high-tech setups, lean dosing, and full EI regimens. It does not interfere with liquid fertilizers or gas injection.

What happens if I overdose?
APT FIXLITE is forgiving, but exceeding the daily dose should always be followed with a 50% water change to maintain livestock safety and avoid overloading the bio-system.

Black Beard Algae (BBA) on Plant Leaves
APT FIXLITE targets BBA effectively without damaging delicate plant tissue. You can see the algae fade and collapse between Day 0 and Day 7, with visible weakening by Day 2.

Hair Algae on Leaf Surface
APT FIXLITE begins working within 48 hours. Notice the fading and reduction of algae between Day 0, Day 2, and full die-off by Day 7.
