Water conditioners

At times it is necessary to add tap water to the aquarium, as part of a water change or a top-up. Tap water is designed for human use, and therefore contains high levels of chlorine to kill germs. In addition, it may contain varying levels of toxic heavy metals. Both chlorine and heavy metals are toxic to fish, and will cause them long-term damage and stress. Leaving water to stand will not remove all of these factors, and so is not an alternative to using a water conditioner. De chlorinators work by instantly neutralising these harmful substances, and should be used every time new water is added to the aquarium. In addition, De chlorinators also reduce stress, promote wound healing and protect against infection, and add a protective coating to the fish.

Pets In Town also stock other water conditioners that adjust the PH and KH levels, reduce nitrates and most important of all bio starters to eliminate ammonia and nitrites the first and most toxic stage of the nitrogen cycle. Bio starters can be used either to reseed a filter or to start from scratch or in the case of poor water conditions.

Algae is a constant problem for fish keepers this can be controlled using anti algae removers, they help combat green, hair, weed & blue-green algae.

Filters

There are many filter medias for external or internal filters these include sponges, carbon, filter wool, sera siporax bio filter media, these products are used for bacteria growth and to keep the clarity of the aquarium water.

Biorb

This together with its low maintenance and strong safe construction will appeal to all age
groups in both private and business sectors. The globe is manufactured from plexiglas acrylic and because of its larger water capacity biorb provides fish with approximately ten times more space than a traditional bowl.

The filter design utilises a unique systemised five-stage method combining biological, mechanical and chemical filtration.

This significantly reduces maintenance whilst helping the water remain healthy and crystal clear for up to 8 weeks between simple filter cartridge changes.

Mechanical and chemical filtration is housed in the easy to change filter cartridge. Unlike many traditional aquariums, ceramic media is used for effective biological filtration. Ceramic media provides a massive home for filter bacteria.
