										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>API® AlgaeFix controls the main and most persistent types of algae in freshwater aquariums, and does so without causing harm to your fish or plants. You can use AlgaeFix as part of your aquarium maintenance routine, or to directly treat and control algae. Weekly doses of AlgaeFix will control algal growth and reduce aquarium maintenance over time. DO NOT use with freshwater crustaceans, including shrimp, crabs, and lobsters.</p>
<p>DIRECTIONS FOR USE:<br />
Add 1 ml for each 10 gallons or 5 ml for each 50 gallons of aquarium water. Repeat dose every three days until algae is controlled. Siphon or scrape any dead algae from aquarium. Once algae growth is under control, add one dose per week.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The API® Ammonia Test Kit measures ammonia to help prevent fish loss, as ammonia is the number one stressor and killer of tropical fish. Ammonia is released into an aquarium in the forms of uneaten food, decaying organic matter, and when fish release it through their gills, urine, and solid waste.</p>
<p>The API Ammonia Test Kit is a mercury-free, salicylate test for fresh and saltwater fish, and levels ammonia levels from 0 to 8 ppm.</p>
<p>We recommend that you take a few minutes each week to monitor your aquarium conditions and create a better underwater world for your fish. Testing your aquarium water has never been so easy or accurate!</p>
<p>Contains 130 tests and includes 2 test solutions, easy-to-ready instructions, glass test tube and 2 color charts</p>
