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

For fish tank with orange/red tinge room hard water does it make clear and not hurt my fish
- This is just a water conditioner to remove chlorine if you want something to clear up the color from hard water try Carbon or”Purigen” seachem in your filter

Can use mineral water for aquarium. My tap water has lot of heavy metals. I have 10 galloon tank with 4 guppy 4 danio 1 silver dollar. 1silver dollar and 1 pleco died bcoz of 2 gold fish earlier in my tank. So i decided to use RO water. Can i use.
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
I have a pond in with my water dragon with a activated carbon filter. Is it safe for him to drink? I also used a water conditioner from petco. He is very lethargic and not eating.
Everytime i change my bettas water (full water changes once a week) i fill it with tap and make sure its about the same temperature as the water he is swimming in then i just put him back in his bowl. I have never used water conditioner. Should i?
When I change the water in my fish tank, after I add the appropriate amount of conditioner, a white fuzz seems to appear on all the objects in my tank, aside from the fish. I’ve had the tank for over a year now and it happens on all the water changes. My fish seem to be unaffected (I have 4). What could potentially be happening?
Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
