Sera Aquarium treatments

For Sera Filter Media Click this text

Protazol

Sera Protazol (formerly Ciliol) is a ready-to-use solution to fight single-celled parasites of freshwater fish The treatment ensuresvery  quick  success

-Small white spots on the fins and the body surface of the fish are characteristic symptoms of the white-spot disease (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, shortly called Ich).
- Whitish-grey mucus indicates that the fish are affected by the bean-shaped flagellates (Ichthyobodo or Costia).
- A whole lot of other parasites (such as the heart-shaped ciliates Chilodonella and Trichodina) affect mostly weakened fish.
- White cotton-like tufts, particularly on wounded areas of fish or spawn are typical for fungal diseases (Saprolegnia or Achlya). If possible, it is recommended to have the diagnosis secured by a microscopic examination of smears.

Use and dosage: Add 1ml of Sera Protazol per each 20 litres of aquarium water. For freshwater only. Protazol was formerly known as Alpha-Biocare Ciliol.

 

 

Protazol  25ml   £8.99

Freshwater aquarium only

Tremazol

Sera Tremazol (formerly Moneol) is a ready-to-use solution to fight parasitic flatworm infections with aquarium fish. The drug ensures quick therapeutic success and is well tolerated by the fish.

General signs of an infection with parasites are scratching against decorative objects in the aquarium, jammed fins, rapid breathing, feeding reluctance and slimming, reduced mobility, and darkening of colours. If the fish are affected by gill worms they breathe rapidly, in some cases one gill cover is raised more than the other one. An infection with skin worms is typically diagnosed by the fish holding back the tail fin and scrubbing against decorative objects in the aquarium. In case of tapeworm and scale worm infections the fish usually lose weight.

If the fish are affected by gill worms add 1 ml Sera Tremazol per each 15 litres of tank water. Pour the substance from the dosing mug into the water spreading it all over the surface and stir it quickly by means of a spoon or stick. At least 80% of the water must be replaced about 8 hours after the treatment. If the water gets dull before, do the water change immediately. Carry out a second treatment with subsequent water change after 8 days. Two treatments each will be necessary to cure gill worms, as these parasites produce eggs in which the embryos cannot be reached by the pharmaceutical substances.

 

Tremazol  25ml   £10.49

 

 

Fresh water and marine aquariums

The second treatment hits the then hatched worms, too. In case of skin worm, tapeworm and scale worm infections give 1 ml Sera Tremazol per each 20 litres of water into the tank. A single treatment will be sufficient for skin worms, which do not produce eggs, and for tapeworms and scale worms.At least 80% of the water must be replaced about 6 hours after the treatment. Tremazol was formerly known as Alpha-Biocare Moneol.

Filter Biostart

formally know as Turbo clear

sera filter biostart

sera filter biostart should be used in new filters, directly on new biological filter media and after filter cleaning.

sera filter biostart immediately accelerates the biological filter performance, and sets an end to sludge deposits and unpleasant odors. The enzymes break down organic material (uneaten food, fish waste) into smaller fragments. These are then further broken down by the highly active micro organisms in the filter

 

 Filter Biostart 50ml   £6.49

Treats  2000 litres fresh water

 

Sera Ammovec / bio reefclear

Sera Ammovec / Bioreefclear  is a special blend of purification bacteria which can be used in fresh or saltwater.
Bacteria quickly develop a natural and functioning nitrogen cycle. Sera ammovec prevents ammonium and nitrite problems and safely reduces the concentration of already existing pollutants.
 

For use with Marine Aquarium

Sera aquaria clear

Green Water is usually caused by a micro-sopic algae, that is so small that is flows right through the filter.

How do you fix it?

    The quick fix.

Make sure that your kH value is at least 4 to 8 degrees kH

Add fine filter wool to you filter

Add Sera Aquaria-clear to the water

Your water should be clear of the green within about 3 hours

Remove the filter material

Sera Aquaria-clear is referred to as a flocking agent.  It causes the very tiny particles of algae to stick together, so as the water passes through the filter the 'clumped' pieces of algae will get stuck in the filter

Sera Toxivec

sera toxivec contains the innovativeQuickClean Formula and immediately removes dangerous pollutants threatening fish and filter bacteria from the aquarium water. The parallel efficacy against different kinds of pollutants makes it especially valuable.


The quick effect of sera toxivec removes ammonium and nitrite in no time. Therefore it prevents the conversion into nitrate and immediately supports prevention of annoying algae growth.
Furthermore, it removes aggressive chlorine from tap water. Also, it is effective against remainders of disinfectants or medications applied.

However, sera toxivec can do even more: It also binds toxic heavy metals such as copper, zinc, lead or even quicksilver/mercury. Therefore, these pollutants cannot harm the fish nor the useful bacteria within the biofilter. Thus the frequency of water changes will be reduced.

If need be, e.g. with particularly high pollution levels, higher dosage is possible with sera toxivec without any problems. A second addition after one to two hours is also possible.

Terrapins and other reptiles that mainly live in the water cause strong water pollution by their digestion, which often causes unpleasant odours in the aquaterrarium itself, but also in the house, This is especially promoted by the warm conditions in an aquaterrarium.

Regular application will prevent deficiencies such as Rachitis, softening of the shell or eye diseases.

 

 

Sera Activ Plus W 50ml

The animals drink while bathing

 

 

Sera  Activ Plus W 50ml £6.49

If the lack of appetite is not caused by overfeeding (in this case the animal should be put on a diet for a few days), then there can be several reasons for this problem.
These could be caused by moving the animal to a new environment, by a shock, or by feeding food the animal doesn’t know. Animals often lose their appetite immediately after hibernation, with cold room or water temperatures, or after disease treatments as well. The animals will be apathetic and will be uninterested in eating.

 

 

Sera Bronchipur 50ml

 

Sera  Bronchipur  50ml £6.79

For treatment, add two drops per day sera bronchipur R to sera raffy I, sera raffy P or sera raffy Mineral. If the reptiles refuse to eat, add 30 drops sera activ plus R into the bathing water.
