Aquarium Water Conditioners

Water in rainforest rivers is conditioned by leaf tannins, humic and organic acids. Some leaching of ground minerals also occurs. These conditions are natural disease inhibitors for fish. The water is soft, usually below 50ppm hardness and a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Amazon Water Conditioner recreates these same conditions in an aquarium. The result is brighter and more active fish, with a high resistance to disease.   For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children.   Directions for Use: 2ml per 10L of aquarium water. Retreatment only necessary when changing water. For Aquarium use only. For soft water species. To calculate approximate aquarium capacity: Multiply the length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1,000 for litres.

AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner is a highly concentrated all-in-one water conditioner that instantly makes tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies heavy metals commonly found in tap water. AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner instantly removes toxic ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels in freshwater, saltwater and planted aquariums. Toxic ammonia continually released by fish through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia. Small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish. This unique formula binds with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate rendering them non-toxic and allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. Use at start-up and whenever adding or changing water or when tested levels of ammonia, nitrates or nitrite are high. When adding, transporting or quarantining fish, we recommend using API STRESS COAT™ water conditioner which is ideal for use with AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner. Instructions: Using dosing cap on 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 advise you to wait 24 hours after dosing then do a water change. If you dose within that 24 hour period there is no danger to the animals/plants in your aquarium. A follow-up water change is always beneficial to an aquatic system. FAQs: Will API® AQUA ESSENTIAL™ affect my aquarium’s protein skimmers? AQUA ESSENTIAL will not disrupt any type of protein skimmer.  Is there a possibility to overdose AQUA ESSENTIAL in my aquarium? When dosing AQUA ESSENTIAL we advise following the directions, but the product formulation does allow for a margin in the event a tank is accidentally dosed with slightly higher amount than specified. Is it safe to use AQUA ESSENTIAL in my aquarium with other aquatic animals like snails or shrimp? Yes, it is safe to use AQUA ESSENTIAL with other aquatic animals. Can I use AQUA ESSENTIAL with other API® products? AQUA ESSENTIAL can be used in conjunction with any other API water conditioner or medication. Does AQUA ESSENTIAL affect the pH in my aquarium? When AQUA ESSENTIAL is dosed according to the label the pH will not be affected. Can I double the dose for AQUA ESSENTIAL if I have high levels of chloramines? AQUA ESSENTIAL is designed to treat chloramines without the need to use a double dose.  For those customers who automatically double dose there is not a problem using AQUA ESSENTIAL for this, but it is not necessary. How often should I wait between doses of AQUA ESSENTIAL? Once a dose is provided to the aquarium, it is recommended to wait for 24 to 48 hours between doses. How long will AQUA ESSENTIAL bind ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for? Once AQUA ESSENTIAL is dosed it will bind the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate for up to 48 hours or longer.  Testing is the best way to judge if additional dosing is necessary.  In water conditions with highly elevated levels, overstocked with fish, or extremely overfed we always recommend a partial water change after 24 hours to aid the fish in the best water quality.   Also, any ammonia or nitrite that is bound by AQUA ESSENTIAL is metabolically available for beneficial bacteria to process.  So your biological filters will be able to function when using AQUA ESSENTIAL. How much ammonia will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL? When treating for ammonia, with a 5 ml/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a 20-40 ppm reduction in ammonia.   How much nitrite will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL? When treating for nitrite, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a 15-30 ppm reduction in nitrite. How much nitrate will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL? When treating for nitrate, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a large reduction of nitrate, ~ 40-60 ppm reduction in nitrate.

Ammo-gone will neutralise ammonia, chlorine and chloramines, in fresh or salt water. When neutralising ammonia, use an Aquasonic Ammonia Test Kit to determine the level of ammonia present and the increase or decrease the dosage proportionally to neutralise it in one dose. In areas where ammonia or chloramines are a problem in tap water, Ammo-gone is essential. Use each time a new aquarium is installed, when water changes are made or transporting fish. If mixing salt water for marine aquariums, use Ammo-gone. Following the use of of Ammo-gone, use Aquasonic Water Conditioning Salts to create that ideal habitat. For trouble free saltwater, use Aquasonic Ocean Natures Sea Salt. For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children.   Directions for Use: To neutralise chlorine or chloramines use 5ml per 20L of water. To neutralise ammonia, 5ml per 20L of water neutralise 0.75ppm ammonia. Ammo-gone has no effect on marine salts and can be use with invertebrates. Always treat new water before adding to your aquarium.   Note: Ammo-gone may bleach clothing if accidentally spilled. Ammo-gone may cause faulty readings with ammonia test kits that use Nessler's reagents.

BIOPTIM is a "source" of nutrients for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It also provides the BIODIGEST bacteria with the micronutrients necessary for optimal purification activity in the aquarium (trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, plant surfactants). BIOPTIM stimulates the work of bacteria, accelerates the digestion of organic matter and thus improves water quality. It also facilitates the elimination of nitrates and phosphates, precursors to the appearance of filamentous algae and cyanobacteria.   We recommend its use: After introducing new fish or invertebrates. After a water change. After medication or anti-algae treatment.   Dosage: Every 15 days 120-200L (1 Bioptim) 200-400L (2 Bioptim) 400-600L (3 Bioptim) 1000L+ (PRO)
