API Aqua Essential, 8 Oz

AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner is a powerful all-in-one solution that quickly transforms tap water into a safe environment for your fish by eliminating chlorine, chloramine, and detoxifying heavy metals typically found in tap water. This conditioner effectively removes harmful ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as planted tanks. Ammonia is constantly produced by fish through their gills, urine, and waste, while leftover food and rotting organic matter contribute to ammonia levels. Even small amounts of ammonia can stress fish, and high levels can be lethal. This specialized formula binds with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, making them non-toxic and enabling your biofilter to work more efficiently in their removal.

Apply the conditioner when setting up your aquarium and whenever you are adding or changing water, or if you discover elevated levels of ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites. For situations involving the addition, transportation, or quarantine of fish, we suggest using API STRESS COAT water conditioner, which works perfectly alongside AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner.

Using the dosing cap provided, add 5 ml per 50 gallons of aquarium water to treat tap water. To effectively eliminate ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, add 5 ml per 10 gallons of aquarium water. We recommend waiting 24 hours after dosing before performing a water change. Dosing again within that 24-hour period poses no risk to the animals or plants in your aquarium. A subsequent water change is always advantageous for the health of your aquatic system.
