Liquid special tonic for algae control in saltwater aquariums
RED X prevents algae growth in the aquarium and works in a biological-organic way. RED X is very gentle to use and has no effect on fish, corals or invertebrates when used in the correct dosage. Red X is a special liquid tonic against algae and bacteria that was developed for use in saltwater aquariums.
- Green and red cyanobacterial deposits
- Mild dinoflagellate infestation
(Ostreopsis sp., Amphidinium sp., Prorocentrum sp., Coolia sp - Symbiodinium and others)
- Gold and armored algae growth
- Diatom
Rebiotic treatment after treatment
After a treatment, we recommend a course of Fauna Marin Rebiotic to establish a healthy and efficient biology in the aquarium. This effectively prevents new infections with unwanted deposits. In particularly stubborn cases, you can repeat the treatment after a rest period of 1 week. Start only then use Rebiotic.
Treatment sequence of the problem solvers
- Analysis and determination of the problem (diagnosis)
- ICP analysis to determine all relevant water values
- Interpretation by a specialist --> adjustment of water values
- Checking and correctly adjusting the technology
- Treatment with appropriate preparation if previous measures are unsuccessful.
Process here --RED X --- REBIOTIC
In case of severe infestation of dinoflagellates: DINO X -- REBIOTIC + BACTO ENERGY possible subsequent infestation: --> RED X
We have tested the product on hundreds of aquariums and in over 99% of cases the one-time treatment was successful.
Purely biological effect !
It contains no prescription drugs or antibiotics. RED X's action is initiated by inhibiting metabolic cycles within the unwanted algae/bacteria and does not affect common circulating bacteria.
Why RED X ?
RED X prevents algae growth in the aquarium and works in a biological/organic way. It is particularly suitable for eliminating light cyanobacteria, dinoflagellates and, above all, golden algae deposits.
RED X or DINO X?
RED X has a gentle and supportive effect. We recommend using RED X before treating with DINO X, as this is much more effective. Heavily infested aquariums infected with the brown plague should be treated immediately with Dino X.
ATTENTION for aquariums in the running-in phase!
You should not use RED X if you have just started up your aquarium. The deposits and algae that grow during the running-in phase are part of the healthy development of a saltwater aquarium and should not be disturbed!
Correct water values
Red X is not a substitute for the correct setting of the water and nutrient values. We recommend an ICP analysis and the correct setting of all water values in conjunction with each use. The outbreak of cyanobacteria is very closely linked to certain relationships between trace and nutrient values and can only be permanently eliminated by correctly setting the aquarium values.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:
- Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
- They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
- Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
- Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
- The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
- To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
- Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
- Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
- The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
- In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
