Overview
2Hr Aquarist APT FixLite is a mild, fast-acting algae treatment developed specifically for sensitive aquatic plants such as mosses, liverworts (e.g., Riccardia, Riccia), and Vallisneria. It uses biodegradable carboxylic acids to selectively eliminate algae while leaving delicate plant species unharmed.
Key Features
- For delicate plants: Designed to work safely on mosses, liverworts, Vallisneria, and similar species
- Biodegradable & copper-free: Naturally degrades within 12–24 hours, leaving no harmful residues
- Spot dosing: Apply up to 1 ml per 10 L daily, focusing only on affected areas
- Safe for fish & shrimp: Low-stress application doesn’t disrupt aquatic life when used properly.
How it works
The formula contains a blend of carboxylic acids that specifically target algae cell processes, causing quick breakdown of unwanted growth. It leaves higher plants unaffected due to their thicker protective layers. After application, it fully biodegrades in water, preventing bioaccumulation.
Usage Instructions
- Pause filtration briefly before treatment.
- Using the pipette, spot-dose the affected area with up to 1 ml per 10 L of aquarium water.
- Leave in place for 24 hours before performing a 50 % water change.
- Repeat daily until algae subsides.
- Extended dosing above 1 ml/10 L is safe for larger algae outbreaks; monitor tank conditions and perform water changes accordingly.

- Environmentally friendly: Breaks down naturally with no heavy metals.
