[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using API products for years. This tap water conditioner is the only one I have liked and does the job. Measure for the amount of water you are using and pour it in. My fish have never had an issue with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a full size bottle of API Tap Water Conditioner to sample and review. I was very pleasantly surprised to open up such a large “sample” size bottle! This will last for quite a long time for our single beta fish. My daughter’s beta fish recently started having swim bladder issues. I started to change his water out with warm water, mixed with this conditioning product, every day. It has taken 2 weeks, and her fish has gone from not being able to swim and being listless to being almost completely back to normal health! I recommend this for all home aquarium “parents” and will continue to use daily as needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This specific product is Axolotl safe, so I figured it give it a go! So far everything has been perfectly fine and normal. It does have a really weird smell though, but once it’s in the tank it seems to go away from being so diluted!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seems like a good product, but it is too concentrated for my small tank. 1 ml treats 10 gallons of water, but my tank is only 3.5 gallons and there is no instructions for a smaller amount. Other declorinators I have used have a drops per liter measure, better for small tanks. For a big tank, I am sure this is great

Questions

1 - 10 of 17 Questions

Use tap water for houseplants

    Should I add water conditioner to dog or cat bowl of water?

    1. No, we do not recommend to use the API products for a pet's drinking water.



    is this safe for a frogs water? 

    1. Yes, this is safe to use with frogs in the water.



    What is the difference between API Aqua Essential and Tap Water Conditioner ?

      Is this safe to use for a turtle tank or water for reptiles (snakes)?

      1. Yes, you may use this product for turtle water. It cannot be used for snake drinking water.



      Does it get rid of copper?

        How many drops for a 10 gallon tank? 

          Is this safe for bettas and tetras

          1. Yes, it's safe for all fish



          This product only specifies that it removes chlorine. Does this mean it's not effective at removing chloramine?

          1. API Tap Water Conditioner will remove chlorine and chloramines. The directions on the label review both methods of removal.



          Directions say on my bottle Add 1 ml for each 20 U.S. Galls of aquarium water, I have a 10 gallon tank. I try to but a little in there but if I go up to 1ml will it hurt the tank, also when I change out the water weekly do I need to still add some?

          1. Not really, the water needs to be treated and I feel it is best to make sure you add enough a little over isn't bad. If you went way over the required dose - like double. then yes I would do a half tank water change, 2 days in a row. and watch for any changes in your fish, but I think they will be okay. Hope this helps.
