Algae are one of the most common challenges in aquaristics. They not only impair the appearance of the aquarium, but can also have a negative effect on the well-being of plants and animals. JBL Algol is an algaecide that can be used specifically to combat unwanted algae growth.

The product was developed for use in freshwater aquariums and is suitable for treating various types of algae. By using the product as recommended by the manufacturer, algae growth can be visibly reduced, giving aquarium plants more light and space to develop again. At the same time, the aquarium appears clearer and better cared for.

JBL Algol can be used as a supportive measure if mechanical cleaning or adjustments to lighting and water care alone are not sufficient. It is always important to use it responsibly, adapted to the size of the tank and the stocking. This will help to stabilize the biological balance in the aquarium in the long term.

For a sustainable result, it is advisable to additionally check the causes of algae growth - such as overlighting or excess nutrients. JBL Algol offers you a practical solution to specifically tackle acute algae problems and restore your aquarium to an attractive condition.

Zoo Roco tip:

Always use algaecide in a targeted manner and combine its use with a review of lighting duration, water change intervals and feeding. This will prevent new algae growth in the long term.

Tetra Algizit 10 tablets – algae control in the aquariumTetra Algizit contains 10 fast-dissolving tablets to combat green, brown, brush and beard algae. Easy to dose for up to 200 litres of freshwater aquarium water.Tetra Algizit is a highly effective algae control product for freshwater aquariums, specially developed to treat severe and persistent algae infestations. The rapidly dissolving tablets release their active ingredient directly into the aquarium water, helping to combat unwanted algae in a targeted manner.Algae are a natural part of an aquatic ecosystem. However, excessive algae growth can detract from the appearance of the aquarium and hinder the development of aquatic plants. Algae can multiply rapidly within a short space of time, particularly in the event of a severe nutrient surplus or unfavourable lighting conditions.Tetra Algizit is effective against green, brown and red algae and is also suitable for combating particularly stubborn algae species such as brush algae and beard algae. These are often difficult to remove mechanically and can overgrow plants, rocks and decorative items.The highly concentrated active ingredient formula specifically targets the algae’s metabolism. As the tablets dissolve rapidly, the active ingredient is released immediately after being placed in the water.Another advantage is the simple and precise dosing. One tablet is used per 20 litres of aquarium water. The pack contains 10 tablets and is therefore sufficient for a total of 200 litres of aquarium water for a single treatment.Tetra When used correctly, Algizit does not discolour or cloud the water, so the view of the aquarium landscape remains unobstructed during treatment.The product is suitable for freshwater aquariums containing fish, aquatic plants and beneficial microorganisms. According to the manufacturer, it is safe for these aquarium inhabitants provided the correct dosage is used and the instructions for use are followed.As this is a concentrated algae control product, Tetra Algizit should be used specifically to tackle acute algae problems. For long-term success, it is important to also identify the causes of excessive algae growth.With its fast-dissolving tablets and straightforward application, Tetra Algizit offers a practical solution for aquarists who want to reliably combat even stubborn algae.Your benefits at a glance10 fast-dissolving tablets includedSufficient for 200 litres of aquarium waterCombats green, brown and red algaeAlso effective against stubborn brush and beard algaeRapid release of active ingredients upon contact with waterEasy to dose: 1 tablet per 20 litresNo discolouration or cloudiness of the aquarium waterSuitable for freshwater aquariumsInstructions for useDosageAdd 1 tablet of Tetra Algizit per 20 litres of actual aquarium water directly into the aquariumThe dosage depends on the actual water volume.

Tetra Algizit is particularly suitable for the targeted control of severe algae infestations, such as those caused by brush algae or beard algae.However, successful algae control should not consist solely of treatment with an algae control product. It is crucial to also eliminate the causes of excessive algae growth.If you experience recurring algae problems, check the lighting duration as well as the nitrate and phosphate levels in your aquarium water.Excessive lighting duration, overfeeding or an imbalance between light, CO₂ and plant nutrients can promote algae growth.We also recommend carefully removing heavily affected parts of plants where possible and ensuring healthy, vigorous plant growth.Tetra Algizit is intended for the treatment of acute algae problems. To maintain an aquarium with low algae levels in the long term, lighting, nutrient supply, water changes and plant growth should be balanced.

Easy Carbo
Easy Life Carbo Liquid carbon fertiliser CO₂: simple and effective. Effective carbon fertiliser promotes good plant growth   Plant growth prevents the growth of algae also helps against cyanobacteria Dosage: A lightly planted aquarium: 1 ml per 50 litres daily A densely planted aquarium : 1 ml per 25 litres daily ProFito plant fertiliser and EasyCarbo carbon fertiliser is the right combination.EasyCarbo is a very powerful and efficient source of carbon for aquarium plants. Carbon is essential for plants. The fertiliser can be used for aquariums with or without additional carbon dioxide fertilisation. A strong growth spurt is noticeable after just a few weeks. EasyCarbo increases the competitive power of plants against algae and at the same time contributes to their reduction. The product is ideal for combining with the plant nutrient ProFito. Algae no longer stand a chance Plants assimilate and grow much better because of the carbon from EasyCarbo. Especially marsh plants such as Cryptocoryne sp. and Echinodorus sp. react positively, as EasyCarbo is very easily absorbed. They grow much more vigorously and look more beautiful and fuller. The more vigorous growth of underwater and marsh plants causes a reduction in algae. Brush algae, beard algae and the like really don't stand a chance any more. The use of ProFito complete fertiliser and EasyCarbo carbon fertiliser is the right combination! Plants need more than just carbon. Trace elements are also essential. Trace elements can never be measured exactly and as we do not know which trace elements are present in the water, ProFito is the ideal solution to enrich water comprehensively with trace elements.

Easy Life Bio-Exit Silicate
Bio-Exit SilicateBio-Exit Silicate binds excess silicate in the water, so that their aquarium without unsightly brown coatings on gravel & plants, can shine.Silicates occur in tap water or are released from the soil. Silicates can promote the growth of diatoms (diatoms), which can form a brown coating on plants and soil. Diatoms are not toxic or harmful, but the appearance suffers from the algae.Tip: Should you do a silicate test again after administering Bio-Exit Silicate, the value will still be displayed - this because the Bio-Exit Silicate binds and converts the silicate and does not neutralize it.Dosage. 10 ml per 20 liters on day 1 and on day 3. No water changes within 7 days after the first dose.

JBL PROCRISTAL UV-C Watercleaner Compact Plus
Watt: 36 watts
PROCRISTAL UV-CCrystal clear and healthy waterPoor lighting conditions, over-fertilization or even an excess of nutrients can have a negative effect on aquarium water and promote algae. Suspended algae lead to green turbidity, bacteria to whitish turbidity. The JBL Water Clarifier removes turbidity caused by bacteria and suspended algae. The aquarium water is passed through the stable, UV-resistant housing of the clarifier. The UV-C radiation kills the bacteria, other germs and suspended algae in the water flowing through. The efficiency of this UV-C water clarifier is particularly high because the glass bulb is surrounded by a polished, reflective stainless steel foil that reflects the UV-C radiation, thus doubling the efficiency. This can also have a positive effect on the elimination of sessile algae, such as filamentous algae, as their spores are also largely killed.No harmful side effectsNo change in water values / no negative effects on important cleaning bacteria in the filter.Easy installationConnect the water clarifier to the external filter or a separate water pump. Due to included 90° angle, any desired installation position can be achieved.SafetyThe JBL UV-C water clarifier is TÜV-tested and has a safety switch for automatic shutdown when the device is opened. The housing is UV-resistant and sturdy walls and has an LED lamp that indicates whether the UV-C burner is working .Difference from the previous model JBL ProCristal UV-C Compact:The function indicator lights are now located on the flat side of the electrical unit and the microswitch for automatic shutdown of the burner when the housing is opened (if the plug has not been pulled out) is changed to a magnetic safety switch. As a result, the electrical units of the previous models (Compact) do NOT fit the new ones (Compact Plus) and vice versa. Crystal clear and healthy water: 36 W UV-C water clarifier for fast and efficient removal of greenish and whitish turbidity in freshwater and saltwater aquariums as well as garden ponds.Space-saving installation: connection to external filter or separate pump.
