Doctor – aquarium ioniser

The Chihiros New Doctor is an ionizer for freshwater aquariums where green water, slow plant growth or bacterial problems are an issue. It is designed for keepers who want to influence water conditions directly, including tanks with young shrimp, without adding separate chemical treatments.

Why it matters

• Green water control: according to the manufacturer, the unit slows the initial growth and reproduction of phytoplankton, which is the cause of green water.
• Plant support: the ionizer is said to activate photosynthesis and micronutrients that plants use for growth, which helps stabilise the tank ecosystem.
• Bacterial disinfection: the manufacturer states that it kills pathogenic bacteria in the water within one hour through direct and indirect disinfection, which should improve survival of young shrimp.
• Automatic operation: an internal control algorithm selects the working cycle and sterilisation level, and the ALC automatic regulation program matches the operating mode to the tank parameters.
