Aquasonic Bactonex Antiseptic Treatment for Fresh and Marine Fish
Aquasonic Bactonex is a broad spectrum preventative antiseptic treatment formulated to protect freshwater and marine fish against bacterial, fungal and protozoal infections. Suitable for use in both freshwater and marine fish-only systems, Bactonex is the ideal proactive treatment to use during routine water changes, when introducing new fish to an established tank, or in dedicated quarantine systems where keeping fish healthy and infection-free is a priority. It targets a wide range of common aquarium disease organisms including Velvet, Whitespot, Chilodonella, Trichodina and Trichodinella - making it one of the most versatile preventative treatments available for the home aquarist.
Important - Not Safe for Corals or Invertebrates
