DIRECTIONS FOR USE

To fully condition water for (1) new aquariums or ponds (2) after or during water additions, or (3) before adding new fishes, amphibians, invertebrates or plants, add 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) of Ultimate per 10 gallons of water. For larger applications use the following dosage: 1 oz. per 60 gallons of water.

INGREDIENTS

®ClorAm-X, electrolytes, buffers and a proprietary polymer formula in aqueous solution.

Recommendations: Perform regular water changes to keep the alkalinity (acid-nuetralizing capacity) and pH stable. Use ®Ultimate as needed to eliminate and control ammonia at the regular dosage rate for each 1 mg/L, or fraction therefore of measured total ammonia or for each 0.85 mg/L of measured total ammonia-nitrogen. Use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit. For dissolved-oxygen (DO) testing use either a DO meter or an indigocarmine test. Maybe used at the regular dosage to stop or destroy permanganate treatments.

Contraindications: Do not use with permanganate-based or chlorite-based treatments. Nessler’s total ammonia test will give false, high (or off scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low (or zero) readings.

Because We Care: ®Ultimate has been developed to offer a completely safe environement for aquatic life and for ease of use by the user. Look for the ®ClorAm-X logo and the U.S. patent number to assure yourself you are getting the original ammonia removing product!
