NT Labs Optimus, Satus & Plantus - 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. Always test your aquarium water using NT Labs Test Kits.
• 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.

Sizes:

• 10ml
• 100ml
• 250ml
• 500ml

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.
