How does APT FIX work?Updated a month ago

APT FIX contains a proprietary formulation of epoxy aldehydes. 
The aldehyde components are protein crosslinkers that deactivate algae cells by binding to their proteins. The active component activates in water, but is quickly broken down by biological microbial action, resulting in no bio-accumulation in the aquarium ecosystem in the long run. 

This enables APT FIX to be a safe and effective inhibitor for various freshwater algae.
