If a little H2O2 gets into your aquarium, it won't hurt anything. \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tUse in Fish Foods:  Coral Amino can be added to any coral food mixture to fortify it and also may be fed to fish fry or even adults or blended or used as a soak for almost any food.  If feeding fish, MaxAmino is a very similar product, but designed to be consumed by vertebrate fishes.  Also, AminŌmega is designed both to provide amino acids as well as Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tStorage: Keep in a cool dry location between 34 and 80 degrees F.  Short excursions of temperature during shipping is well tolerated by the product.  Freezing will not damage the product, but do not subject to repeated freezing and thawing.  Refrigeration is not required, but it will significantly prolong the shelf life of the product.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tCaution: Keep out of reach of children.

Elements are present in natural seawater  ratios (i.e. the ratios in which they are present in seawater). Since they are  not depleted by biological nor chemical interactions, no minor or trace elements  that are not expressly needed by aquatic organisms are present in this product;  this includes unnecessary elements such as lithium, rubidium, and molybdenum.  Additionally, a full-complement of vitamins are present in the same ratios found  in the tissues of filter-feeding marine invertebrates, organisms that extract  plankton from the surrounding water and gain their nutritional benefit, and  which are in turn consumed by many reef inhabitants. This logical blend of  vitamins and minerals is of benefit to all marine aquarium inhabitants.\u003cbr\u003e Of the detectable elements in seawater, 11 are minor elements and 52 are trace  elements. Between the two groups, at least 13 elements appear to be  expressly-required for the growth of primary producers such as algae, and an  additional 18 are either incorporated into living tissue\/skeletal material or  undergo chemical interactions that cause their depletion in surface waters.  These elements are important to a number of enzymatic and vitamin-synthesis  reactions for plants and animals alike; additionally, they influence  pigmentation, and therefore coloration, of various organisms. Iodine, though an  important trace element, is not provided by this product but instead appears in  a separate supplement as a result of rapid usage relative to other trace and  minor elements in marine environments.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstructions and Guidelines:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Basic: Shake well before using. Add 5 ml (1 capful) per 25 US-gallons of water  in the aquarium system weekly for the first four weeks of use; then, gradually  increase the dosage to 10 ml per 25 US-gallons per week if desired. When used in  this fashion, 250 ml treats up to 1,250 US-gallons (4,732 L).\u003cbr\u003e Advanced: Shake well before using. Begin by adding 5 ml (approximately 40 drops  or 1 capful) of KŌRALLE-VM per 25 US-gallons of water weekly for the first four  weeks of use; this corresponds to adding approximately 4 drops per 20 US-gallons  each day. Then, gradually increase the weekly dosage to 10 ml per 25 US-gallons  over the following four weeks and maintain this dosage.

Restōr was  specifically formulated for the care of corals and their allies that: have been  recently placed into a new aquarium and are adjusting to new lighting; have  recently been exposed to prolonged elevated temperatures (inducing expulsion of  symbiotic zooxanthellae, known as \"bleaching\"); have suffered tissue damage  either through fragmenting or propagation, or through the unwanted grazing  activities of aquarium inhabitants. Research has shown that during bleaching  events, some corals obtain the majority of their nutrients through capture of  prey rather than by relying on zooxanthellae, until such time as the  zooxanthellae have become adjusted to the change in lighting or re-established  in the coral tissue. While the contents of Restōr will not directly reverse  coral bleaching, they will effectively provide nutrients required by the coral  to potentially survive the period of time during which zooxanthellae are  recovering or being reacquired; no express claims are made that corals who have  suffered bleaching will recover when using this product, however it has  generally been observed that corals obtaining the required nutrition (by  actively feeding) during such an event have a higher rate of recovery. Using  Restōr to fortify plankton of the proper size range for the target organism(s)  is an extremely effective means of providing those important substances. \u003cbr\u003e Restōr does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area  will prolong the activity of the vitamins.

Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Rinse the  portion (inside and outside) of the feeder that was placed into aquarium water  before placing it into this bottle (if feeding directly from the bottle rather  than from a separate container); failure to do so will contaminate the product  and encourage it to decompose.

Corals and their allies, in particular, have been observed to benefit tremendously from regular controlled dosage of vitamin-C by increasing their rate of soft tissue growth; this aspect is of particular interest to hobbyists and researchers involved with coral propagation, in which coral tissue is damaged during the process of splitting colonies and\/or individual polyps. Grow-out systems regularly dosed with vitamin-C also tend to have improved growth rates when compared to control systems with identical environmental conditions. These benefits are believed to be a result of the positive impact that vitamin-C has on the immune system; this benefit translates to fishes as well as to the remainder of invertebrates maintained in marine aquaria.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tVitamins are compounds required in minute concentrations for vital metabolic reactions; the amounts of vitamins required for a given species varies. Short-term vitamin deficiencies can typically be tolerated by most organisms, however long-term deficiencies tend to result in abnormalities, poor health, and eventually even death of the specimen. Conversely, if severely overdosed, ingested vitamins can have a negative impact on a specimen by way of toxicity, though the impact is unlikely to be permanent. Decreasing the vitamin dosage typically results in full recovery of the affected specimen. For these reasons, it is recommended that Vītamarin-C be utilized either as a means of delivering vitamins to aquarium inhabitants through food or by direct addition to the water, but not both except as noted on opposite panel when using with organisms that have sustained tissue damage.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tVītamarin-C does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area will prolong the activity of the vitamins. Refrigeration will maximize the shelf-life of the product.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eInstructions and Guidelines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIf using to fortify food (recommended): Place food in a clean container such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough Vītamarin-C to saturate. Allow at least 5 minutes to elapse before feeding, enabling adequate time for the vitamins to become thoroughly absorbed by the food. Liquid food suspensions may be fortified by adding 1 ml (approximately 8 drops) Vītamarin-C per 10 ml of food suspension; stir to mix and allow 5 minutes to elapse before feeding. Maximum benefit of any liquid food suspension is achieved when the food is target-fed to the intended organisms rather than poured into a stream of water and allowed to disperse randomly throughout the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIf adding directly to aquarium water: Begin by adding 2 ml (approximately 16 drops) of Vītamarin-C per 20 US-gallons of water weekly for the first four weeks of use; this corresponds to adding approximately 2 drops per 20 US-gallons each day. Then, gradually increase the weekly dosage to 4 ml per 20 US-gallons over the following four weeks and maintain this dosage. [Note: if using Vītamarin-C in conjunction with Brightwell Aquatics Vītamarin-M, decrease dosages by 50%.] Starting at a low dosage will not cause any harm to the livestock, and will enable you to notice subtle changes in the appearance of the system that indicate the effectiveness and need for the product.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tNote that doubling the dosage of Vītamarin-C is acceptable when fortifying food meant for organisms appearing to be in poor health, including fishes and invertebrates. Maintain the increased dosage only as long as is deemed necessary, and observe water quality carefully at all times, making adjustments as needed.

Restōr was specifically formulated for the care of corals and their allies that: have been recently placed into a new aquarium and are adjusting to new lighting; have recently been exposed to prolonged elevated temperatures (inducing expulsion of symbiotic zooxanthellae, known as “bleaching”); have suffered tissue damage either through fragmenting or propagation, or through the unwanted grazing activities of aquarium inhabitants. Research has shown that during bleaching events, some corals obtain the majority of their nutrients through capture of prey rather than by relying on zooxanthellae, until such time as the zooxanthellae have become adjusted to the change in lighting or re-established in the coral tissue. While the contents of Restōr will not directly reverse coral bleaching, they will effectively provide nutrients required by the coral to potentially survive the period of time during which zooxanthellae are recovering or being reacquired; no express claims are made that corals who have suffered bleaching will recover when using this product, however it has generally been observed that corals obtaining the required nutrition (by actively feeding) during such an event have a higher rate of recovery. Using Restōr to fortify plankton of the proper size range for the target organism(s) is an extremely effective means of providing those important substances.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tRestōr does not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area will prolong the activity of the vitamins.

Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Wash the portion (inside and outside) of the feeder that was placed into aquarium water with a dishwasher or very hot water and soap before placing it into this bottle (if feeding directly from the bottle rather than from a separate container); failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose. Restōr may be utilized as a food-soak; to do so, place food into a clean container, add up to 5 ml of Restōr and allow 5 - 10 minutes for food to soak; target feed as directed.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tBroadcast Dispersal: Add up to 5 ml per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system in an area of rapid water movement every two to three days for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be increased as desired.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tNotes: Add no more than 5 ml total of liquid food suspensions per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be gradually increased as desired. Starting out at a low dosage and gradually increasing it with time will allow the biological filtration in the aquarium to adjust to the increase in nutrients and prevent water quality from deteriorating. This product is best utilized by target feeding specific invertebrates in an aquarium; in doing so, the majority of the complex may be consumed by the intended organisms rather than ending up in filtration media or indirectly impacting water quality (as often occurs when indescriminately “broadcast feeding”).\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tBoosting the nutritional profile of any food: It is always a good idea to add vitamins, minerals and amino acids to any foods your are feeding.  You can also add garlic or other healthy nutritional ingredients.  Brightwell makes the following foods that are great additives, as well as are able to be added directly to the aquarium.  CoralAminō, Restōr, AminŌmega,, Vitamarin-M,  Vītamarin-C, Garlic Power, MaxAmino, \u0026amp; Angelixer.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tFood Rotation: Foods for corals should be rotated to provide variety and a more complete nutritional profile.  Brightwell recommends that you don't just mix all your foods together and feed the same thing every day.  Feeding a broad range of nutrients will more closely simulate what animals encounter in their natural habitat.  Do some research on your animals to see what their nutrional needs are.  Brightwell makes a number of different planktonic and particulate foods that can be rotated to provide a more balanced diet.  These can be fed in addition to the CoralAminō and Restōr which can be fed every day along with those foods.  Some of them are:  PhytōChrōm, PhytōGold, PhytōGreen, Zooplanktōs, Reef Blizzard A, L, O, and S, UltraPlanktōs, Macrōvore , Micrōvore, and Reef Snow.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tA word about feeding Sponges:  Sponges respond well to Coral Amino and to Restōr, as well as our planktonic foods such as  PhytōChrōm, PhytōGold, PhytōGreen, \u0026amp; Zooplanktōs.  In addition, it is absolutely necessary to use a silicate booster, such as SpongExel.  SpongExcel will cause sponges to uptake more latent organic matter and increase their growth rate, particularly in systems housing spongivorous fishes such as marine angelfishes, butterflyfishes and the like.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tCaution: Keep out of reach of children.

Stress can reduce their ability to fight off disease, resulting in poor body condition and loss of color. If the stress agents in the aquarium are not removed, the animal will eventually be invaded by opportunistic bacteria or develop a viral infection and then die.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tSo what are the common stress agents in an aquarium? The most common is poor water quality. But poor water quality is a rather general term, as what may be poor for one animal could be fine for another. So one needs to know some basics about the animals they are keeping. Also, the stress may be a series of problems that finally affect the fish or corals. For example, nitrifying bacteria prefer a higher pH value (between 7.5 and 8.5), and as the pH drops below this range, the bacteria do not perform as well at removing ammonia. As the pH drops below 7 and close to 6, the bacteria may stop functioning and ammonia can start to build up in the aquarium water. Constant low levels of ammonia have been shown to stunt fish growth and open fish up to bacterial diseases. So the problem (the stress agent) in this case is the ammonia, but the reason for the ammonia is the low pH of the water. Raising the pH by doing a partial water change will solve this problem, but I know of cases where hobbyists try to “treat” the ammonia, rather than fix the pH. Low pH is a common stressor in aquaria, but is easily eliminated by doing regular partial water changes.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tOther stress agents are the netting-bagging-transport of fish or corals from the fish store to your house, fragging corals, fish harassing other fish and poor nutrition. Each of these can be eliminated, resulting in healthier fish and corals.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tA newly set-up aquarium can be full of stressors to fish and corals. A lack of a functioning biofilter can lead to high ammonia and nitrite concentrations, the process of getting the fish and corals from the store to the tank. Just the change in water conditions from where the fish were to your new tank can all increase the stress level on the fish and corals.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tAnother factor to consider is that the very nature of most aquaria eliminates many natural stress relief agents that could help the fish deal with the stress agents they encounter. Hobbyist strive to have “gin clear” water and an algae-free aquarium, down to cleaning the rocks and other decorations, all of which eliminates things that can be helpful at relieving stress. Many algaes and the small organisms that feed on them, that are eaten by fish or filter-feeding corals, provide vitamins, minerals and other important products that help fish and corals fight stress when it arises.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tOne way to help your fish and corals fight stress, besides providing good water quality and nutrition, is by periodically adding a scientifically formulated, stress relief product such as DrTim’s Aquatics First Defense. First Defense contains, among other things, a mixture of vitamins, immunostimulants and a slime coat replacement substance, all of which promote healing and repair wounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tFirst Defense can also stimulate feeding in fish that don’t seem interested in eating. You might be thinking, “How can it do that when the fish aren’t eating in the first place?” The answer lies in the basic physiology of fish. Freshwater fish are “saltier” than the water they are in, so aquarium water is automatically absorbed by osmosis through the skin and gills, along with whatever is in the water. So adding the vitamins in First Defense to the aquarium water means those vitamins will be absorbed into the fish, in turn helping the fish fight stress.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tSaltwater fish have the opposite situation in comparison with freshwater fish. Saltwater are continually losing their internal water to the aquarium so they must constantly drink aquarium water to replenish the water loss. Therefore, any vitamins, minerals and other stress relief agents in the water are ingested along with the water.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tAs mentioned earlier, many stressors open the fish up to what are called secondary bacteria diseases. Secondary in this case means that the bacteria were not the initial stressor of the fish but now that the fish are stressed, they are more susceptible to bacterial infection.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tThere are two ways First Defense helps to fight off bacterial diseases. Firstly, bacteria need an invasion point or spot to gain entry into the fish. This spot usually occurs where the natural slime coat of the fish has been lost either by being rubbed off or the fish losing a scale.

Stress can reduce their ability to fight off disease, resulting in poor body condition and loss of color. If the stress agents in the aquarium are not removed, the animal will eventually be invaded by opportunistic bacteria or develop a viral infection and then die.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tSo what are the common stress agents in an aquarium? The most common is poor water quality. But poor water quality is a rather general term, as what may be poor for one animal could be fine for another. So one needs to know some basics about the animals they are keeping. Also, the stress may be a series of problems that finally affect the fish or corals. For example, nitrifying bacteria prefer a higher pH value (between 7.5 and 8.5), and as the pH drops below this range, the bacteria do not perform as well at removing ammonia. As the pH drops below 7 and close to 6, the bacteria may stop functioning and ammonia can start to build up in the aquarium water. Constant low levels of ammonia have been shown to stunt fish growth and open fish up to bacterial diseases. So the problem (the stress agent) in this case is the ammonia, but the reason for the ammonia is the low pH of the water. Raising the pH by doing a partial water change will solve this problem, but I know of cases where hobbyists try to “treat” the ammonia, rather than fix the pH. Low pH is a common stressor in aquaria, but is easily eliminated by doing regular partial water changes.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tOther stress agents are the netting-bagging-transport of fish or corals from the fish store to your house, fragging corals, fish harassing other fish and poor nutrition. Each of these can be eliminated, resulting in healthier fish and corals.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tA newly set-up aquarium can be full of stressors to fish and corals. A lack of a functioning biofilter can lead to high ammonia and nitrite concentrations, the process of getting the fish and corals from the store to the tank. Just the change in water conditions from where the fish were to your new tank can all increase the stress level on the fish and corals.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tAnother factor to consider is that the very nature of most aquaria eliminates many natural stress relief agents that could help the fish deal with the stress agents they encounter. Hobbyist strive to have “gin clear” water and an algae-free aquarium, down to cleaning the rocks and other decorations, all of which eliminates things that can be helpful at relieving stress. Many algaes and the small organisms that feed on them, that are eaten by fish or filter-feeding corals, provide vitamins, minerals and other important products that help fish and corals fight stress when it arises.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tOne way to help your fish and corals fight stress, besides providing good water quality and nutrition, is by periodically adding a scientifically formulated, stress relief product such as DrTim’s Aquatics First Defense. First Defense contains, among other things, a mixture of vitamins, immunostimulants and a slime coat replacement substance, all of which promote healing and repair wounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tFirst Defense can also stimulate feeding in fish that don’t seem interested in eating. You might be thinking, “How can it do that when the fish aren’t eating in the first place?” The answer lies in the basic physiology of fish. Freshwater fish are “saltier” than the water they are in, so aquarium water is automatically absorbed by osmosis through the skin and gills, along with whatever is in the water. So adding the vitamins in First Defense to the aquarium water means those vitamins will be absorbed into the fish, in turn helping the fish fight stress.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tSaltwater fish have the opposite situation in comparison with freshwater fish. Saltwater are continually losing their internal water to the aquarium so they must constantly drink aquarium water to replenish the water loss. Therefore, any vitamins, minerals and other stress relief agents in the water are ingested along with the water.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tAs mentioned earlier, many stressors open the fish up to what are called secondary bacteria diseases. Secondary in this case means that the bacteria were not the initial stressor of the fish but now that the fish are stressed, they are more susceptible to bacterial infection.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tThere are two ways First Defense helps to fight off bacterial diseases. Firstly, bacteria need an invasion point or spot to gain entry into the fish. This spot usually occurs where the natural slime coat of the fish has been lost either by being rubbed off or the fish losing a scale. First Defense contains polymers that act to replace the slime coat and help ward off infection points.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\tSecondly, for bacteria and viruses to be effective, they must overwhelm the natural defenses of the fish or coral.
