PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Use AmQuel+ for water changes, overcrowded aquariums and ponds, the control of toxic nitrogen compounds commonly found in water while the nitrogen cycle is established., as well as afterwards as nitrogen compounds accumulate in the aquarium and pond water.
To avoid confusion it should be recognized that there are two products with the Amquel name - the original AmQuel and the recently improved product
AmQuel+
. AmQuel+ does all that AmQuel does and a significant number of additional tasks as well. See in "
ABOUT CONDITIONERS
" the section "Comparison Between AmQuel and AmQuel+".
PURPOSE AND BENEFITS:
AmQuel+ is the latest development in state-of-the-art water conditioning technology and is the next step beyond what the original
AmQuel
product does. In the section in Kordon Product Data Sheet "About Conditioners" find "Comparison between Amquel and AmQuel+" to see the similarities and differences. AmQuel+ has several fundamental purposes and benefits.
Its purpose in treating tap water when water is added or water changes are made is to detoxify chlorine and chloramines and its components (chlorine and ammonia) and to make the water safe for aquatic life free of these lethal toxins. (see
in "
ABOUT CONDITIONERS
" the section on "Problems When Using Water Conditioners...".
A primary purpose in aquariums and ponds is to protect aquarium and pond fishes and invertebrates by quickly eliminating (actually detoxifying) the harmful components of the biological nitrogen cycle - ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates without slowing the nitrogen cycle (see "BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION "), or interfering with the beneficial bacteria involved, or depriving these bacteria of their food.
Also, in overcrowded aquariums and ponds where waste products from the fishes, etc., quickly collect, it can rapidly detoxify toxic organics.
Another purpose is to detoxify organic compounds that accumulate in the aquarium and pond water over time, including noxious pheromones released by fish and aquatic invertebrates to signal and repel each other. This is specially important for reducing the frequency of needed water changes. Many larger freshwater and saltwater aquarium fishes release pheromones to establish territoriality and repel other fishes. This is particularly true in fresh water for cichlids and plectognath fishes (triggers, filefish, puffers, boxfish) in salt water.
Among AmQuel+ benefits are that it is easy to use and equally effective in fre
