Optimus

Freshwater & Marine

The word, "Optimus" in Latin translates to "the best". 

NT Labs Optimus detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, & heavy metals. It is also a concentrated aquarium water dechlorinator & conditioner.

  • Optimus detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate into a safe form that can be removed by the biofilter. 
  • Optimus is a highly concentrated dechlorinator and conditioner that makes tap water safe for fish. Optimus removes chlorine, chloramine, halogens, and detoxifies heavy metals found in tap water.
  • Optimus should be used when setting up a new aquarium and during every water change.
  • Optimus should be used alongside Satus when starting up or ‘cycling’ a new aquarium to control ammonia and nitrite levels, thereby preventing ‘new tank syndrome’. Optimus is buffered and will not negatively affect pH or skimmers.

How to use:
Shake bottle thoroughly before use.
When adding to a new aquarium, calculate aquarium volume litres (length x width x depth (in cm)/1000). 
See label for full dose rate 
Dose for the full aquarium volume and add directly to the aquarium. 
During a water change, add the appropriate dose directly to the new water before adding to the aquarium.
A half dose should be used when water temperature is +30°C and chlorine and ammonia levels are low. The normal dose can be doubled for water containing exceptionally high chloramine. Optimus can be used up to 5 times normal dosage to detoxify nitrite in an emergency. 
Sulphur odour is normal.
