Not a suitable ph from packaging
I bought this product to help take out guess work in building a new tank for our home. Sadly this product that says it's tank ready I assumed the ph would be neutral if not pretty close. After now having a dead betta I tested tank water as well as water directly from product packaging and not only was it not neutral it was higher than 8 I'm currently working on fixing ph. I do take responsibility for assuming instead of fully researching but product still disappointed
No, I do not recommend this product.

Killed my fish
Bought a new tank,gravel,accessories, and Fritz intant aquarium water. Rinsed everything with tap water. Added everything to the tank, added the instant aquarium water, let the filter run for a few minutes and then placed the fish in the tank. Immediately he stood vertical on his tail and didn't move. Then he swam into his hideout. Today he is on his side. lifeless.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Questions
1 - 10 of 11 Questions
Why does this water test out of range in total hardness (300 ppm) and KH (300 ppm)? It is also borderline out of range for total alkalinity level.
- Sorry, too many variables to give you a definitive answer...After ten years as a hobbyist, I am currently in the process of rehoming my community of fish. I highly recommend routine maintenance for water replacement and, carbon substrate to filter through your water pump. I have relied on the preconditioned water biweekly watch change maintenance, combined use of sponge filters, in combination use of an underwater gravel filter system plus air stones to keep the water moving. Do online sites research and compare notes...Good Luck

Is this water suitable for Betta Fish and other species of freshwater fish? I want to get a 5 gallon tank and put a Betta Fish in along with a couple of snails and Cardinal Tetras.
- Yes. The fritz water is great. The tank is always clear, the fish are thriving. And you don't have to add any chemicals to the water

Can I use this to do a water change due to GH levels being to high? Do I still need to add any water conditioners?
- I use the water as it is; I have never added chemicals. I have been using this product for a long time. I am on an auto-ship subscription to help keep up with both routine maintenance & shortage when in high demand and unavailable seasonally.

I am starting a new 8 gallon aquarium. How long after using this water in my tank can I add fish? Ty
- typically I wait 24 hours before I add my betta to water.
Helpful?
Anyone use setting up a new tank? Did you still have to cycle you tank? Did you have plants in when water was added?
- You still have to cycle the tank in order to grow beneficial bacteria. Once u add fish their poop and food produces ammonia and u need the bacteria to combat that. Look up nitrogen cycle.

Good for a starter tank to breed shrimp?
I currently use Fritz Betta gish pre-c conditioned water for my Betta. Can I use this Fritz Aquarium pre-conditioned water for my betta? Would this water be safe for a Betta fish?
- Yes, you can use this for Betta. It's Chlorine, Chloramine, and heavy metals free. These are the primary chemicals you should be concerned about in your new water. Ammonia is a by-product of fish waste, so I should expect it to be free of ammonia. It states pH balanced, so I can only assume it's neutral 7.0. Shouldn't be a problem if you're changing less than 40-50% of the water at a time. If you're doing a 100% water change (like most people do with small Betta tanks), make sure you acclimate. However, this method isn't recommended.
