How do I use APT FIX / FIXLITE as a dip?Updated a month ago

If you are introducing new plants, or have taken out your existing plants to re-plant, you can dip your plants in an APT FIX / APT FIXLITE solution before planting: 

  • Create a 5% solution by adding 20 parts water to 1 part APT FIX / APT FIXLITE. (i.e. 50ml in 1L of water)
  • Dip plants in solution for around 10 seconds, not more.
  • Rinse in clean water and plant after dipping 

APT FIX is generally stronger than APT FIXLITE, though either can be used.

Plants that are heavily affected by algae can be dipped to hit all algae spots at once.
