Visidrakon - Water Clarifier

Crystal-clear water by removing clouding and floating algae.
Activates new filter material and binds phosphate.

Application

Anyone who has ever set up an aquarium or garden pond is familiar with the more or less powerful, whitish turbidity that often makes new aquariums and ponds a less than pleasant sight in the first few days. The release of impurities from gravel and decorative material as well as the new technical equipment are the main reasons for this. Experienced aquarists or pond owners have therefore often prepared an old, well-established filter. This filter is able to remove this turbidity in a short time.

But what should everyone else do?

In these cases the water clarifier Visidrakon can help very wonderfully. A few drops of the solution are introduced into the strongest streaming into the tank and distributed quickly, causing the turbidity to flocculate quickly.
Flocculation means that the microscopically small clay particles, protein colloids, floating algae and bacteria first combine to form small, then increasingly larger flakes. Due to their higher density, these flakes sink faster and can be easily suctioned off or collected by the filter.
Another advantage is that phosphate and other harmful substances are bound in the flakes during this flocculation process.

How does Visidrakon do this?

Often such turbidity substances as well as bacteria and microscopic algae have identically named electrical charges on their surface which, due to their electrostatic repulsion, ensure that the particles cannot stick together and float in the water. The introduction of highly charged ions such as Fe³⁺ prevents this repulsion and ensures rapid clumping.

In the case of suspended algae and bacterial blooms (mass reproduction), the application may have to be repeated several times because algae and bacteria from small residues can regenerate within a day after the flocculation process has been completed.
In the case of multiple use, a larger water change is absolutely necessary at least after the 3rd use in order to prevent an excessive drop in pH and KH.

Dosage

8 drops / 20 l water resp. 2 ml / 100 l water
Do not overdose!
Neutralizes approx. 0.2 °d carbonate hardness pro application

100 ml enough for approx. 5,000 l when used at once.

Do not use at the same time as water conditioners and aquatic plant fertilizers. These preparations should only be added several hours after the use of Visidrakon.
If not, the desired effect will not be achieved and the iron content of the water in the aquarium will be increased by too great an amount.
Optionally you should make a larger water change prior to application if you had already applied recently water conditioner or fertilizer.
