API Aqua Essential, 8 Oz

The AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner is a highly concentrated and comprehensive water treatment that immediately makes tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine, chloramine, and neutralizing heavy metals commonly found in tap water. AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner instantly removes toxic levels of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite in freshwater, saltwater, and planted tanks. Toxic ammonia is continuously released by fish through their gills, solid waste, and urine. Uneaten Food and decomposing organic matter also add ammonia. Small amounts of ammonia cause stress to fish; while large amounts of ammonia can kill fish. This unique formula reacts with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, rendering them non-toxic and allowing the biological filter to remove them more efficiently.

Use it at startup and when adding or changing water or when ammonia, nitrate, or nitrite levels are high. When adding, moving, or quarantining fish, we recommend using the API STRESS COAT water conditioner, which is ideal for use with the AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner.

Using the dosing cap on the bottle, add 5 ml per 50 gallons of aquarium water to treat tap water. Add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. We recommend waiting 24 hours after dosing then perform a water change. If you dose within that 24-hour period, there is no risk to the animals/plants in your aquarium. Subsequent water changes are always beneficial to the aquatic system.
