    NEW Aqueon Nutrinsect Fishless Foods!

    aqueon-Logo_Nutrinsect_Cropped 



    Why not give your fish the diet they would naturally eat in the wild? Aqueon's NEW Nutrinsect foods are 100% fish-free and include sustainable and responsibly sourced insect-based proteins! Nutrinsect formulas are highly palatable, plant- and insect-based, complete diets with ingredients your fish would seek out in their natural habitat!

    aqueon-benefits-nutrinsectIn the wild, most pond and aquarium fish don’t actually really eat other fish. Instead, they have evolved to eat insects, small crustaceans, vegetation, and algae. That’s why Nutrinsect™ has been formulated using ingredients such as Black Solider Fly larvae, Mealworms, Freshwater Shrimp, and Bloodworms to give your fish a diet they would naturally eat in the wild. 

    What's more, Nutrinsect's natural ingredients are produced in a sustainable way to help earth's oceans! While fishmeal is the main ingredient in most other fish foods, and is often harvested from the ocean in a way that puts massive strain on the marine ecosystem, Nutrinsect contains zero fish. The Black Soldier Fly and Mealworms are fed food that would otherwise go to waste, and the Bloodworms and Freshwater Shrimp are naturally grown in ponds and lakes, making them highly sustainable sources of protein.

    All the Nutrinsect varieties are formulated for each fish species' unique dietary needs. Since insects, algae, and crustaceans are what pond and aquarium fish typically eat in the wild, these insect-based formulas naturally lead to less waste and better water quality - meaning happier, healthier fish as well! 
     Plus they're made to be highly digestible, so there's less leftover food and waste! Nutrinsect is available in varieties for goldfish, tropical fish, and betta fish. All Nutrinsect™ products are expertly tailored to provide your fish with spirulina for color enhancement and a balance of all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients they need to be fit, active, colorful, and healthy. 

    Aqueon's new Nutrinsect foods come in both flake and pellets.
    With NO fishmeal, whole fish or fish oils - there's nothing fishy about it!

    DrTim's Re-Fresh for Natural Sparkling Water

    dr-tims-refresh-family No one wants an aquarium covered in green or brown grunge that smells! But many people do not want to add toxic chemicals to their aquarium either... The answer is DrTim’s Aquatics Re-Fresh. Re-Fresh is a potent, 100% natural combination of beneficial bacteria that work together to maintain clear water, clean aquarium surfaces and eliminate grunge and unpleasant odors. It can also work together with DrTim's Waste Away as part of your algae and cyanobacteria cleaning regime!

    dr-tims-refresh-treat-brown-green-water-freshwater Use DrTim’s Re-Fresh to Preserve Clean Water in Your Tank:
    - Revitalizes old, green/brown water 
    - Preserves clear water 
    - Keeps water odor free 
    - Reduces organics 
    - Use frequently to maintain sparkling water 
    - 100% Natural 
    - Typically only need to add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water 

    *May be harmful to snails and shrimp. Do not overdose on tanks containing these organisms.  Wait 5 to 7 days after final dosing to add these organisms.

    dr tims cyano_tank So, is your tank overrun by cyanobacteria, experiencing "old tank syndrome," or covered in green algae? The traditional ways to treat cyanobacteria and algae is with antibiotics and algaecides respectively, which does have one benefit in that they work fast. However, this victory is short-lived as these only treat the symptoms of the problem and not the source - while also creating their own distinctive issues in the tank. Beneficial and symbiotic coral bacteria are often victims of this bacterial purge by traditional antibiotics, as well as other beneficial microorganisms that help keep an aquarium in balance. Then, decaying dead cells become food that spurs the regrowth of the same algae and cyanobacteria you were just working so hard to eliminate.

    dr-tims-refresh-treat-brown-green-water-reef dr-tims-waste-away-gel-and-liquid-use That's why Dr.Tim's products are a great, 100% natural alternative to traditional tank chemicals and medications. Re-Fresh can be added on a weekly basis every 3-4 days for treatment - more or less if needed or depending on tank size and type - to help maintain a clear, clean and sparkling aquarium.
    Generally at the end of a 4 week period of adding Re-Fresh and Waste-Away, your tank will be clean and there will be a noticeable improvement in water clarity and cleanliness of the substrate! There are many uses for Re-Fresh - if you are starting a new tank, experiencing a fish tank odor, or if your aquarium naturally has discolored water, Dr.Tim's potent and unique combination of bacteria can help!
