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.

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 this bacteria.   Nitrate Nitrate ions are produced as a result of biological action occurring mainly in your aquarium filter system. It is the residue of a chain reaction by aerobic bacteria, breaking down fish waste. Nitrate accumulates in an aquarium in proportion to the stock load waste and is a good indicator of general water quality.   Permissible Nitrate Levels As nitrate levels increase, water quality decreases. The quantity of permissible nitrate varies with the particular aquatic life being cultured. a) For marine systems culturing fish, acceptable levels are 20ppm to 40ppm. Many species of marine fish will accept higher levels of 80ppm to 100ppm without apparent effect on their health. But it is recommended that when levels climb above 40ppm steps should be taken to lower the nitrate to avoid stress. b) For reef systems culturing invertebrates, much lower levels of nitrate are acceptable. A level of 5ppm or less is optimum. Again, many invertebrates will accept higher levels but once these levels climb above 20ppm many of the more sensitive invertebrates will be irreparably damaged. It has been shown that small quantities of around 5ppm of nitrate are of assistance in culturing marine plants. Nitrate tests on reef systems should occur weekly and levels should be kept below 10ppm. c) Freshwater fish. Tolerance to nitrate with freshwater fish is higher than saltwater species. Some delicate species will tolerate around 50ppm, but some species will tolerate far higher levels. It is recommended that as nitrate levels approach 50ppm steps should be taken to reduce the level.   Lowering Nitrate The easiest method to lower nitrate is to change water. Regular water changes should ensure that the nitrate levels stay within acceptable limits. Recommended minimum water change requirements are 25% per month. If water changes do not keep the nitrate at acceptable levels, then perhaps the number of fish in the tank is too great for your aquarium system, so reduce the number of fish. Denitrification filters can lower nitrate successfully, but this must be closely monitored to avoid dangerous gases that can harm aquarium inhabitants. Marine plants and algae can use some nitrate as nutrients and are a definite advantage in the control of nitrate.   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.   Directions for Use to Determine the Nitrate Level in Water: Rinse empty test tube and cap several times in the water to be tested. Fill the test tube to the 5ml mark and add 7 drops of Reagent A. Swirl to mix. Add 1 level scoop of Reagent B and gently swirl the solution for a few seconds. Ensure that Reagent B is kept dry at all times. Add 7 drops of Reagent C, mix for a few seconds and let the solution stand for 3 minutes after which time full colour development will have occurred. Place the test tube on the white background of the colour chart, view vertically down the tube. The colour in the test tube is best viewed with natural light behind you. On completion of the test, rinse clean the test tube. Ensure Reagent B remains dry and that the cap is firmly in place.   Note: If the nitrate level in the test solution is more than 80ppm (use your colour chart to determine) then you can still determine the level by diluting the sample with nitrate free water (preferably distilled water). For example, to prepare a test that will measure up to 160ppm nitrate, mix a sample with half water to be tested and half water that is nitrate free. Then multiply the results of the test by 2. To read up to 320ppm nitrate, use 25% water to be tested and 75% nitrate free water, then multiply the result by 4. *Colour chart to be used as a base guide only. Colours may vary according to various water conditions.
