Aquasonic Bio-Tet Tetracycline Antibiotic Tablets for Aquarium Fish
Aquasonic Bio-Tet is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic formulated for the treatment of bacterial infections in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Containing Tetracycline as the active ingredient, Bio-Tet is particularly effective against the bacteria responsible for fin rot, ulcers, cloudy eyes and mouth fungus - some of the most common and distressing bacterial conditions affecting aquarium fish. Bio-Tet also provides an effective solution for red slime algae (cyanobacteria) outbreaks, a common and frustrating issue in reef and marine tanks, making it one of the most versatile treatments available for the home aquarist.
During treatment, the water will turn a red tint - this is completely normal and is a visible indicator that the medication is actively working. The colour fades naturally within about a week after treatment is complete.
Important Usage Notes
Turn off UV sterilisers and remove activated carbon before dosing. Prolonged use may negatively impact beneficial bacteria in your biological filter. Where possible, treat in a separate hospital tank to protect your established filtration system.
Water will turn red during treatment - this is normal and indicates active treatment. Colour fades naturally within one week after treatment ends.
