Keep your aquarium clean and healthy with Waste-Away Gel.
Why should you use Waste-Away Gels?
Whether you have a freshwater, saltwater or reef aquarium, one of the unexpected consequences of filtration is the elimination of some good bacteria. Of course, we're not talking about beneficial nitrifying bacteria, but a group of bacteria that swim freely in the water. These beneficial bacteria consume nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates, as well as organic substances. The nutrients thus consumed are then no longer available to algae and certain undesirable bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Skimmers, UVC systems, filter socks and other filtration components remove these good bacteria from the water, causing nitrate and phosphate levels to rise and organic matter to accumulate. The visible consequence is the development of harmful organisms such as algae, filamentous algae, cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates.
In the case of cyanobacteria, the use - mistakenly - of an oversized skimmer removes even more good bacteria from the water, making the problem worse. So, to eliminate these harmful organisms over the long term, it's essential to add bacteria to the water. That's where Waste-Away gels come in: they gradually release bacteria into the water to replace those that have been eliminated. Simple, effective and without the need for expensive equipment such as dosing pumps, the gels ensure a constant source and spread of useful bacteria.
If your aquarium has problems with algae, filamentous algae, cyanobacteria, dinoflagellates and the like, we recommend that you first use Re-Fresh and Waste Away in liquid form to clean the aquarium and get rid of them. Then use Waste-Away gels regularly to keep the aquarium clean and the water clear.
How do Waste-Away gels work?
Waste-Away gels are extremely easy to use and require no special equipment to operate.
They release good bacteria that will take charge of consuming and breaking down nutrients and organic waste. Thanks to these "cleaning" bacteria, your aquarium water will remain clear and clean. Waste-Away gels are 100% safe for fish, plants and corals.
Waste-Away gels continuously release good bacteria into the aquarium water.
These good bacteria consume nitrates, phosphates to organic loads while keeping the aquarium cleaner and the water clearer.
The gels release bacteria for a period of around 30 days and will change color to indicate that they need replacing.
No need for dosing pumps, tubes or connections.
Penetrates into nooks and hard-to-reach areas.
