ASF L'Unidose Algae Control - Up to 75L

ASF L'Unidose Algae Control – Biological Algae Management for Smaller Aquariums

Unwanted algae and cyanobacteria can quickly affect the appearance and balance of a smaller freshwater aquarium.

ASF L'Unidose Algae Control – Up to 75L is a beneficial bacteria-based treatment programme developed by Aquarium Systems in collaboration with Dr Tim's Aquatics.

Designed for freshwater aquariums up to 75 litres, the programme helps manage algae and cyanobacteria by introducing bacteria that compete for nutrients associated with unwanted growth.

Rather than focusing only on removing visible algae, it aims to support a more balanced aquarium environment.

• Structured treatment programme – follow the included dosing card.

• Developed with Dr Tim's Aquatics – uses a bacteria-based approach to aquarium care.

How Does ASF L'Unidose Algae Control Work?

Algae and cyanobacteria can develop when nutrients accumulate in aquarium water.

Fish waste, uneaten food and decomposing organic material all contribute to the nutrient load of an aquarium.

ASF L'Unidose Algae Control introduces beneficial bacteria that compete for nutrients associated with unwanted growth.

This biological approach is intended to help reduce the conditions that allow algae and cyanobacteria to thrive.

However, algae growth is influenced by several factors, including lighting, feeding, circulation and aquarium maintenance. The treatment should be used as part of a broader aquarium care routine.

Designed for Freshwater Aquariums Up to 75 Litres

This version of ASF L'Unidose Algae Control is intended for freshwater aquariums with a capacity of up to 75 litres.

It is particularly relevant for smaller tropical community aquariums experiencing unwanted algae or cyanobacteria.

Use the treatment programme appropriate for your aquarium volume and follow the supplied instructions.

Convenient Single-Dose Treatment Programme

ASF L'Unidose uses individual treatment vials and a programme card to guide the dosing process.

Each vial corresponds to a particular stage of the treatment, making it easier to follow the programme without manually measuring individual liquid doses.

How to Use

1. Read the programme card included with your pack.

2. Record the treatment start date.

3. Select the vial specified for the first treatment day.

4. Shake the vial before opening.

5. Carefully open the vial and add its contents as directed.

6. Continue following the programme card for subsequent treatment days.

Important: Do not add extra vials or change the dosing intervals unless instructed by the manufacturer.

Why Algae Problems Can Return

Even after a successful treatment, unwanted algae may return if the conditions that encouraged it remain unchanged.

Common contributing factors include:

• Excess nutrients from overfeeding

• Organic waste accumulating in the aquarium

• Excessive or poorly managed lighting

• Inadequate water circulation

• Inconsistent aquarium maintenance

• An imbalance between nutrients and plant growth

Addressing these factors alongside the treatment provides a more complete approach to aquarium algae management.

Maintaining Your Aquarium After Treatment

Once the programme is completed, continue with appropriate aquarium maintenance.

Regular water changes, sensible feeding, filter maintenance and water testing all contribute to maintaining stable aquarium conditions.

Aquarium Systems also offers a separate L'Unidose Maintenance Programme intended for ongoing aquarium care.

Aquarium Haven Tip

Smaller aquariums can experience noticeable water-quality changes relatively quickly, particularly when overfeeding or excess organic waste becomes an issue.

Alongside ASF L'Unidose Algae Control, review your lighting duration, feeding routine and filter maintenance.

A consistent maintenance schedule and balanced nutrient levels will help reduce the likelihood of recurring algae problems.
