Continuum Aquatics

Concentrated chlorine, ammonia, and chloramine remover for marine and freshwater aquaria. Use to treat tap water for new tanks and water changes.

Fraction is a technologically advanced, premium quality, maximum strength water conditioner that makes tap water immediately safe for freshwater or marine aquarium use. 

It is also the premium product for use directly in a freshwater or marine aquarium to remove toxic ammonia, nitrites or nitrates. It will immediately remove over dosages of iodine or potassium permanganate based products in the aquarium as well as over dosages of medicinal dyes. 

It is safe for all marine or freshwater species including sensitive fish, live corals and other invertebrates and live plants. 

Fraction contains no slime coat enhancers as these could pollute the aquarium.

Flora•Viv is a high quality, bio-available, wide range, multi-nutrient fertilizer for freshwater planted aquariums. It contains all the nutrients that freshwater plants require to grow except phosphorus and nitrogen. Phosphorus is rarely required in any aquarium unless no animals are present at all. Nitrogen may be required for very rapid plant growth in the heavily planted aquarium or in the case of very light fish load. If your aquarium requires nitrogen or for accelerated plant growth, simply use our Flora•Viv Grow.

Flora•Viv products contain no dangerous polycycloglutaracetal or glutaraldehyde.

Use in aquarium keeping:
Simultaneous use of Bacter•Gen F to establish and sustain growth of proper micro-organisms and recycle aquarium nutrients will greatly benefit all plants and the ecosystem in general. The use of Flora•Viv Prolifera will provide additional carbon for heavily planted aquariums.

Growth of all photosynthetic organisms also requires strong lighting of proper spectrum. Consult your lighting supplier for assistance in the proper type of light, and photo periods for the plants that you are growing. Be sure to ask lots of questions to get the very best lighting system for your aquarium.

Directions:
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 76L of freshwater aquarium water twice per week. Dosage may be split up and added more often. Heavily planted aquariums and those utilizing carbon dioxide systems may benefit from increased dosage.

SIZES: 250mL;  500mL; 

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. If ingested drink water, contact a poison control center. If in eyes flush with water.

Clarifier and cloudy water controller for freshwater and planted aquariums.

Clarion F is a technologically advanced, premium quality, maximum strength clarifier that immediately and safely begins to flocculate dirt, parasites, and other debris or cloudiness causing particles into clumps that can easily be removed by a good mechanical filter with fine filter floss. It is not an algaecide. It is a high tech, long chain polymer that is safe for sensitive freshwater fish and plants when used as directed.

Use in aquarium keeping:

Clarion F is designed to be used in conjunction with a working mechanical filter, containing a good filtration medium, such as fine filter floss or a fine filter pad or cartridge to remove the clumps that it flocculates. Cloudy water and particularly green water are signs that the aquarium may be overloaded with nutrients. If you have these conditions, treat with Clarion F and then look for the cause, which may be overfeeding of fish food, or overuse of plant fertilisers, or other nutrients which can cause bacteria or algae blooms.

Clarion is not meant as a substitute for good maintenance practices. Partial frequent water changes may need to be initiated to get the system back under control. Be sure to clean filter floss or other filtration material regularly when using Clarion F. Decreased water flow from the filter shows that it is plugging up with the large clumps of cloudiness causing particles that Clarion F is flocculating.

Clarion F is not designed to clear brown or yellow tinted water. Use Continuum Labyrinth Carbon or Power Cleanse XL for this purpose.

Directions and protocol:

Not for use in marine aquariums!

Important: First use Flora Viv KH+ to adjust alkalinity (or KH) to a minimum of 2 dKH (40 ppm or .75 meq/L). Dilute 1 drop per gallon of aquarium capacity, or 1 capful (5 mL) in a cupful of treated purified water for every 200L of freshwater aquarium water to be treated. Mix thoroughly and disperse around the aquarium in areas of good water flow. Repeat in 24 hours if necessary. Use while aquarium lights are on and will be on for several hours. Morning or afternoon is best. Do not use at night or on very soft water, below 40 ppm.

SIZES: 250mL; 500mL

High quality nitrogen source and plant growth accelerator for freshwater planted aquaria.

Flora.Viv Grow is a high quality, bio-available, fertiliser for freshwater planted aquariums containing nitrogen in a safe form for aquatic use. Flora.Viv Grow also contains kelp extract, known to accelerate freshwater plant growth. Whereas some companies use urea as an inexpensive nitrogen source, Flora.Viv Grow utilises only sodium nitrate because urea, the main source of nitrogen in urine, can release toxic ammonia into the aquarium, which may irritate fish gills and cause sickness and death at pH values over 7.0. 

Flora.Viv products contain no polycycloglutaracetal or glutaraldehyde.

Use in aquarium keeping:
Use Flora.Viv Multi-Nutrient fertiliser as your main plant nutrient source (sold separately), then use GROW to provided added nitrogen and kelp extract to accelerate plant growth and to support heavily planted aquariums. 

Do not exceed 25 mg/L (ppm) nitrate in the aquarium. Simultaneous use of Bacter.Gen F (sold separately) to establish and sustain growth of proper microorganisms and recycle aquarium nutrients will greatly benefit all plants and the aquarium ecosystem. 

The use of Flora.Viv Prolifera (sold separately) will provide additional carbon for heavily planted aquariums.

Growth of all photosynthetic organisms also requires strong lighting of proper spectrum.

Directions:
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 200L of freshwater aquarium water once or twice per week, as needed to support heavy plant growth.

High quality carbon source and kreb's cycle accelerator for freshwater planted aquaria. 

In 1937 Sir Hans Krebs, a German born British biochemist, discovered the Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle, and defined the basic cycle of energy creation in all living things, for which he later won the Nobel prize.

Flora•Viv Prolifera is designed to provide critical Kreb's cycle constituents and act as a high quality carbon source, without the toxic ingredients some competing products have. It is particularly useful in heavily planted aquariums and will promote accelerated growth of plants and critical aquarium friendly microbes.

Flora.Viv Prolifera also contains kelp extract, known to accelerate freshwater plant growth, humic and fulvic acids, and amino acids to stimulate biological cycles.

Flora.Viv products contain no toxic polycycloglutaracetal, or glutaraldehyde.

Use in aquarium keeping:
Use Flora.Viv Multi-Nutrient Fertiliser (sold separately) as your main plant nutrient source, then use Prolifera to provide added carbon and Kreb’s cycle nutrients to accelerate plant growth and support heavily planted aquariums.

Simultaneous use of Continuum Aquatics Bacter Gen.F (sold seperately) to establish and sustain growth of proper microorganisms and recycle aquarium nutrients will greatly benefit all plants and the aquarium ecosystem. If needed, use Continuum Aquatics Flora.Viv GROW to provide additional nitrogen for heavily planted aquariums. Growth of all photosynthetic organisms also requires strong lighting of proper spectrum. 

Directions:

Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 200 L of freshwater aquarium water, as needed to support heavy plant growth; typically two to three times per week in tanks with 50% plant coverage.

Prolifera is useful, with or without the addition of carbon dioxide. If using carbon dioxide, you will probably use less.

Ingredients:

deionised water, proprietary balanced organic carbon sources, humic acid, fulvic acid, kelp extract

SIZES: 125mL:  250mL;  500mL: 

500ml treats up to 5000 gallons (19,000L)

Restore water chemistry of filtered or rain water with Reconstitute RO.

Reconstitute RO is a high quality, multi-component, broad spectrum mixture of all mineral ions including General Hardness (GH), alkalinity (KH) and all major, minor and trace minerals required for optimum health and longevity of freshwater fish, invertebrates and plants. When mixed with filtered water prepared by reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization, it will convert those filtered waters into a natural environment in which all aquarium inhabitants will thrive. It has been used to raise discus and other freshwater fish, as well as keep whole systems in breeder, public and home aquariums.

Reconstituting reverse osmosis, deionized or distilled water ensures complete user control over aquarium water parameters. Treating purified water with Reconstitute RO allows the user to customize hardness and alkalinity for the type of fish you’re keeping. This is especially important when keeping and breeding sensitive or expensive species such as discus or wild caught fish. Using reconstituted purified water will also help solve many aquarium keeping water quality issues and prevent the entry of unwanted nutrients such as phosphates that are prevalent in public water supplies.

This product may also be used to reconstitute filtered rainwater and is particularly useful where there are no other water sources available for maintaining your aquarium such as in rural areas that dont have access to a town water source. Rainwater tends to be similar to reverse osmosis water in that is is missing most dissolved minerals and is thus very soft with low GH and KH and is quite acidic (approx 5.5-6).

In all cases you should know your water parameters and have suitable test kits on hand.

Continuum Basis Power.Cleanse XL is a high affinity, regenerable organic adsorption resin for marine & freshwater aquariums.

Shrimp safe, Basis Power.Cleanse XL is a supreme quality, high activity synthetic filtration resin particularly selected for sensitive marine or freshwater aquarium environments.

Power•Cleanse XL contains huge numbers of mesopores and macropores suited to adsorption of a wide range of organic pollutants with zero impact on trace minerals and pH.

Power•Cleanse XL is a water polisher and will remove stains, dissolved organics and toxic gases in marine, brackish and freshwater systems. It will outperform carbon in many environments and is more economical because it can be regenerated. It turns brown or shades of yellow indicating exhaustion and need for regeneration. It is regenerable over and over again for a minimum of 2 years in normal use.

Flora•Viv KH+ is a professional professional alkalinity boosting KH & pH stabilizer for all freshwater & planted aquariums. Proper control of pH and alkalinity are among the most critical functions of maintaining an aquarium. Continuum recommends that you maintain an alkalinity level as specified in the directions.

Flora•Viv KH+ is a high quality product designed to raise the alkalinity (carbonate hardness (KH) or buffering capacity) of freshwater and planted aquariums at a pH of 7.8 or lower. It will increase the stability of pH over a wide range of conditions providing for safety of the entire system. It contains no phosphates, which often cause unwanted algae growth (many competing products contain 100% phosphates).

In all cases you should know your water parameters and have suitable test kits on hand before using this product.
