German help.

[Microman]

I have aquired a few 100ml bottles of a German product called Spureal, spurenelemente. I realise that it is some sort of water vitamin supplement but what exactly is it used for?
Is it like a blackwater tonic?
Dosage: Alle 7 Tage 1 Verschlubkappe auf 20l. What is the dosage?
Sorry for being so ignorant but languages has never been my strong point.
Thankyou,
Mark...

Mike will know for sure, but I am going take a shot at it...

1 bottle cap for every 20 L

Pretty close: it means EVERY SEVEN DAYS use 1 bottle cap for every 20 L (about 5 gallons). By-the-way: the name seems to imply you are dealing with trace elements/minerals, not with vitamins.

would it not be more effective to soak food in that type of product rather than add it to water
which most of us try so hard to remove things from?

 

[Microman]

I dont understand what the product actually is. I think it maybe a blackwater extract type product that adds trace elements and minerals to the water.
I definately do not think it should be added to food.
I dont know if this helps but there are pictures of Altums on the bottle.
Maybe our German associates could help.

A Google search & translation gave this:

Trace elements + Schleimhautschutz for suesswasserfische
spureal mineral-poor aquarium water with vitally necessary trace elements supplements, prevented in such a way deficiency symptoms and protects against degeneration features with fish. The well-being of the animals promoted spureal contains organic water purification means. These protect the mucous membrane of the fish, improve the regeneration of the mucous membrane with injuries and bend parasite infestation forwards.

I think we can all agree that bending parasite infestations forwards is the way to go.

I bet Rolo & our fellow German-speaking friends are enjoying this!
