API - Tap Water Conditioner (118ml) instantly removes chlorine and neutralises chloramines. It also detoxifies heavy metals in tap water. This is because tap water contains chemicals that make water safe for us to drink, are highly toxic to fish. High levels of these chemicals destroy fish gill tissue, preventing the uptake of oxygen which can lead to fish death. Even low levels irritate delicate fish tissue. Tap water must be treated before adding fish to make sure fish remain healthy.   The formula is incredibly concentrated. You only need up to 3ml to treat 10 gallons of water. It's safe for all aquatic and can be used in both fresh and salt water. Use during aquarium set up, water changes and adding fish.   API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

API® ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier quickly clarifies cloudy water in your aquarium, eliminating haze to make your water crystal clear. API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier clumps tiny floating particles together, forming large particles to be more easily removed by your aquarium filter. Product is safe for use with all freshwater fish and plants. Add 1 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water. The water will clear within several hours. If a second dose is necessary, wait 24 hours. FAQs What does API ACCU-CLEAR™ water clarifier do? API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier clears green or cloudy water in freshwater aquariums by clumping small particles together into larger pieces, so they can settle to the bottom of your aquarium to be siphoned out, or easily removed by the filter. Is API ACCU-CLEAR™ water clarifier safe with fish and plants? Yes, API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier is a safe product for both fish and plants. Why can’t API ACCU-CLEAR™ water clarifier be used in marine aquariums? In water with a high mineral content, such as the water found in marine (or saltwater) aquariums, API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier will not clear cloudiness and could even make it worse. However, API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier will not cause any harm to fish or marine plants. Can API ACCU-CLEAR™ water clarifier be used if I have added salt to the water in my freshwater aquarium as part of a supportive treatment for fish? Yes, a low level of salt in the water, as is typically the case with freshwater aquariums, is not a problem with API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier. However, API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier does not act as a healing treatment for fish like aquarium salt. Its primary purpose is for aquarium cleanliness and clarity. Will API ACCU- CLEAR™ water clarifier clear the cloudiness caused by bacterial blooms? API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier will help to clear the cloudiness caused by bacterial blooms, but does not address the underlying cause. As a result, the cloudiness will come back quickly unless the main cause of bacterial blooms is treated. Can I repeat the dose of API ACCU-CLEAR™ water clarifier if the cloudiness persists? API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier can be dosed again after 24 hours. However, further doses should not be added after this, as repeated doses will actually make cloudiness worse. API ACCU-CLEAR water clarifier can be dosed once a week as a routine treatment to help keep water clear, but if cloudiness persists, you may want to perform a 25% water change.

In all aquarium systems, biological activity develops in your filter, and on the surface of gravels and decorations etc. These bacteria are essential to achieve a balance in your aquarium and different types of bacteria need to be present in the right proportions to break down waste and deal with ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, which can all be harmful to your fish. Every time you change or add something in your tank, or you clean it, you potentially upset the balance because you are effectively removing some of these bacteria.   Derivation of Ammonia Ammonia occurs in water from two commons origins: The decomposition of fish waste, decaying food and dead fish. Many water supplies now contain chloramines. The addition of some water purifiers to tap water containing chloramines releases the chlorine and leaves ammonia.   Toxicity and the Effects of Ammonia Ammonia concentrations of more than 0.1ppm can affect fish and marine fish are more sensitive than freshwater fish. Levels of less than 0.1ppm as a rule are harmless. However, when levels occur at 1ppm or greater, immediate action should be taken to alleviate the problem.   Dealing with Ammonia Ammonia that occurs as a result of fish waste is best dealt with on a constant basis by biological filtration, which, once established in an aquarium, will convert the ammonia to nitrate. Remove any uneaten food or dead fish before decomposition to minimise the source of ammonia. Ammonia may be neutralised in aquaria or shipment water by using Aquasonic Ammo-gone. Chloramines in tap water may be neutralised by Aquasonic Ammo-gone or Aquasonic Power Water Conditioner. In situations where there is a high number of fish and little or no filtration, e.g., fish holding ponds or shipment bags, some relief can be obtained with pH control. In such situations for freshwater, keep the pH below 7.0 and in saltwater 7.3.   Water Quality Ammonia creates stress and can cause fish deaths by lowering fish resistance to disease. Diligent testing of your water for ammonia is the best defence for the health of your fish.   To Break the Ammonia - Nitrite - Nitrate Cycle Perform a water change. Remove anything that can cause ammonia to form (e.g. dead organic matter or excess fish waste) from amongst the substrate (e.g. gravel cleaner). Use Aquasonic Ammo-gone to neutralise ammonia in the system.   The manual addition of live strains of nitrifying bacteria can also aid in kick starting the biological activity in the filter system.
