BRF-13A Ammo-Down is an all new, safe biological means to treat your ammonia and nitrite problems. Highly effective and fast, BRF-13A efficiently builds an ammonia and nitrite reducing population in the aquatic system. A unique slime layer is formulated (a biofilm) that takes up ammonia and nitrite at an amazing rate.

Under proper circumstances, the BRF-13A will completely control ammonia and nitrite levels in just a few days. Additionally, the BRF-13A is a probiotic bacteria product. These beneficial probiotic bacteria species will have a secondary function of protecting your fish and other aquatic species from potential pathogens (bad bacteria) in your aquatic system. These highly beneficial species of probiotic bacteria will biologically compete with harmful bacteria like aeromonas and vibrio. The highly beneficial bacteria populations in BRF-13A will dominate their environment and will essentially exclude the pathogenic bacteria from having a significant presence. Special Bonus: The protective slime layer also reinforces the natural slime layer of fish, providing natural healing of external injuries, cuts, scraps, etc.

Four to six days after application the BRF-13A will form a slight slime layer. Within 24 to 48 hours, ammonia and nitrite levels will be reduced. A filter, preferably biological, will speed up the process. For optimal performance, a couple of conditions are required. Do not run you ozone or ultra-violet filers during the initial 4-6 day seeding process; this will allow for the BRF-13A to colonize in the system. Secondly, make sure the pH is near neutral; if the pH is slightly alkaline, this is acceptable, but do not attempt to grow the slime forming BRF-13A in a low pH. Third, aeration is very important. Simply stated, the more the better. The final factor is the temperature of the water. The warmer the water the better. If the water can be maintained at about 74 F (23 C), the bacteria will proliferate in the warmer temperatures. However, do not increase the temperature over 78-79 F, it is not necessary and could be harmful the to aquatic life.

Through extensive testing and careful research we have confirmed that the BRF-13A is both completely safe and extremely effective.


APPLICATION:

Apply the BRF-13A so as to allow it to mix throughout the system. Suggestion: pour near the filter intake while filter pump is running.

As per dosage rates:

Use 200 to 250 ml per 1,000 gallons of water to be treated. This is equivalent to 1 oz. per 125 gallons of water.

After application, there will be a slight milky, clouding for a while, and a light tan biofilm will be created. This is natural and is not to be of concern. Some individuals may not like the presence of the biofilm. In these cases, we would recommend they use the BRF-13A only in vats and quarantines.


STORAGE:

For optimal shelf life, store in cool areas (under 70 F) and keep container tightly closed. Refrigeration is recommended. DO NOT FREEZE.


PRECAUTIONS:

See above storage conditions. Keep out of reach of children. Refer to MSDS for additional information.


PACKAGING:

8 oz., 32 oz., 1, 5, 15, 55 gallon containers.
