AMQUEL+ AS
THE PREMIER AMQUEL PRODUCT
To avoid
confusion it should be
recognized that there are
two products with the AmQuel®
name - the original AmQuel
which Kordon has been
providing since 1985, and
the recently invented
product AmQuel+ (also
referred to as AmQuel Plus)
which is based on a much
improved new chemical
formula. AmQuel+ is the
latest development in
state-of-the-art water
conditioning technology and
is far beyond what the
original AmQuel product
does. AmQuel+ does all that
AmQuel does and a
significant number of
additional tasks as well.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AmQuel+ is a
remarkable new discovery
that is making fresh and
saltwater aquarium and pond
keeping much safer and
simpler. It is doing this
by safely detoxifying
natural nitrogen compounds
in the water, including
nitrites and nitrates that
before could not be
effectively detoxified.
Thereby, the use of AmQuel+
greatly reduces the need for
continual water changes, and
provides far better water
conditions for fishes,
aquatic invertebrates, and
other life in fresh and salt
water.
AmQuel+ is useful for the
beginners who are novices in
knowing how to establish new
aquariums and ponds through
the first months, as well as
for the advanced aquarists
and pond keepers in their
easily keeping water safe
long term for fishes and
other aquatic life.
AmQuel+ (also referred to as
AmQuel Plus) is a recent
patented chemical invention
that has the extraordinary
ability to make the
"nitrogen cycle" (involving
ammonium/ammonia/nitrites/nitrates)
totally nontoxic in aquarium
and pond keeping, without
interfering with the
cycle's process in any way,
and without interfering with
the beneficial bacteria that
are involved with the
cycle. Further, AmQuel+
detoxifies/removes all
chlorine and chloramines
added to the water by public
water utilities and all of
the toxic nitrogen compounds
that can appear in aquarium
and pond water over time,
thereby making water changes
less necessary, and
providing a safer
environment for fishes and
aquatic life.
One of the foremost benefits
of using AmQuel+ in
aquariums and ponds is in
its total detoxification of
all phases of the nitrogen
cycle, while the cycle goes
through to completion
without any interferences to
aquariums or ponds, to the
nitrifying bacteria, or to
the water filtration.
Thereby, AmQuel+ makes
aquarium and pond keeping
easier, greatly aiding the
aquarist and pond keeper.
AmQuel+ reduces the problems
with "new tank [and pond]
syndrome," which in great
part are caused by the
nitrifying bacteria in the
water. AmQuel+ makes
biological filtration much
safer by detoxifying its
natural processes. AmQuel+
does all this without having
to be removed, once it is
put into the water. It
remains totally nontoxic to
aquatic life.
AmQuel+ should be used for
setting up aquariums or
ponds, for water changes,
overcrowded aquariums and
ponds, the control of toxic
nitrogen compounds commonly
found in water while the
nitrogen cycle is
established...as well as
afterwards as nitrogen
compounds accumulate in the
aquarium and pond water.
Fresh water is a precious
commodity and becoming in
ever shorter supply. By
using AmQuel+ fewer water
changes are needed in
aquarium and pond keeping,
thereby conserving a
valuable resource. For
marine aquarists AmQuel+
greatly helps in decreasing
the number of water changes
needed, thereby saving on
having to prepare sea salt
mixes or natural sea water.
FURTHER PURPOSES AND
BENEFITS
An immediate
purpose for using AmQuel+ in
treating tap water when
water is added or water
changes are made is to
detoxify quickly all
chlorine, and chloramines
and its components (chlorine
and ammonia), and to make
the water safe for aquatic
life free of these lethal
toxins.
-
A
primary purpose in using
AmQuel+ in aquariums and
ponds is to protect
aquarium and pond fishes
and invertebrates by
quickly eliminating
(actually detoxifying)
the harmful components
of the biological
nitrogen cycle -
ammonia, nitrites, and
nitrates, without
slowing the nitrogen
cycle, or interfering
with the beneficial
bacteria involved, or
depriving these bacteria
of their food.
-
AmQuel+
rapidly detoxifies toxic
organics, which is very
important in overcrowded
aquariums and ponds
where waste products
from the fishes, etc.,
quickly collect.
-
Another
purpose of AmQuel+ is to
detoxify nitrogen
compounds that
accumulate in the
aquarium and pond water
over time, including
noxious pheromones
released by fish and
aquatic invertebrates to
signal and repel each
other. This is specially
important for reducing
the frequency of needed
water changes. Many
larger freshwater and
saltwater aquarium
fishes release toxic
pheromones to establish
territoriality and repel
other fishes. This is
particularly true in
fresh water for larger
cichlids, and for larger
marine plectognath
fishes (triggers,
filefish, puffers,
boxfish) in salt water.
-
Among the
benefits of AmQuel+ are
that it is easy to use
and equally effective in
fresh and salt water.
AmQuel+ does not affect
the beneficial bacteria
of the biological
nitrogen cycle. AmQuel+
is compatible with all
water conditioners and
all Kordon non-chemical
medications and other
non-chemical medications
on which it has been
tested, including
organic herbal
medications, and with
all aquatic life -
including live rock and
reef tank inhabitants.
Other benefits are that
AmQuel+ does not affect
pH (acidity and
alkalinity), and does
not discolor the water.
AmQuel+ has a long
indefinite shelf life at
full effectiveness that
is expected to be many
years.
