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.

• 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

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.
