Seedex for aquarium

The fight against rapidly growing algae in a home aquarium is a painful topic for many fish lovers. Scrapers, various biological or chemical agents are used in this business. Some breed "cleaners" - ototsinlyuksov, these catfish are peaceful individuals and get along well with shrimps. But even these methods do not always work, fish often pass to the food of their neighbors and the capacity gradually becomes contaminated. But what about those people who breed only shrimp? They have these negative processes go even faster.


Application of Sydex in an aquarium

There is one interesting drug that has worked well in many shrimp - this is Saidex, which scientifically is called glutaraldehyde. It is often used in medicine as a disinfectant, treating them with tools and equipment. Scientists have long been told that Sydex is an excellent disinfectant. In the aquarium, it acts as follows - this substance limits the supply of CO2 and, at the same time, carbon dioxide itself and replaces. Initially, it was considered only as a source of carbon, but then began to use good algicidal properties of this drug, which make it transparent and clean.

Instructions for using the Sydex for an aquarium

Only 12-15 ml of this substance, diluted in 100 liters of liquid, allows about a month to forget about the problem with algae. The death of shrimp after the application of this substance, except for single cases described on the Internet, was not observed. If you use Seidex correctly, everything will be fine, its dosage in the aquarium should not exceed 1.5-2 ml per 10 liters of liquid.

The order of entering into the water

  1. Try to remove the reservoir from the plants as much as possible mechanically, this will help to reduce the concentration of the working solution.
  2. Clean the filter.
  3. Refresh the water in your aquarium by 50-70 percent.
  4. Turn off the lighting and aeration, stop the flow of carbon dioxide.
  5. Restore the circulation of liquid in the container.
  6. Cover the aquarium with a dense cloth, you need to make a complete darkening of the tank.
  7. Enter Saidex, following the instructions on the canister.
  8. In a day, refresh the water in the aquarium by half and add the product again.
  9. Repeat the fluid renewal and insert Sydex on the third day.
  10. Open the aquarium, turn on the light, the flow of CO2 is gradually increased. Add nitrogen and phosphoric fertilizing to plants. Dead algae is removed from the soil and the filter is rinsed.

It is possible that unsuccessful cases of using this substance are associated with an incorrectly calculated dose of the Saidex for an aquarium. It is sold, both in the departments of household chemistry, and in profile stores, where they sell drugs for aquariums. The second option is much better. If the package has the inscription Cidex Activated Glutaraldehyde, it means - this is a special substance from algae. There must be an instruction that almost eliminates overdose.
