EasyBalance should not be used in aquariums with low oxygen conditions; proper aeration using an airstone is strongly recommended. Shake well before using. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of EasyBalance for ever 5 gallons (19 liters) of aquarium water. Each raised mark on the side of the bottle equals 10ml. Repeat dosage weekly. Change 50-75% of your aquarium's water at least once every 6 months, provided EasyBalance has been added as recommended and the aquarium is otherwise properly maintained.* *A properly maintained aquarium contains the correct stocking level of fish, proper aeration using an airstone, an efficient and regularly maintained filtration system and regular testing of vital water quality perameters. NOTE: EasyBalance is not a tap water conditioner and will not neutralize harmful chlorine or chloramines. When adding tap water to the aquarium it is recommended you always use Tetra AquaSafe according to directions. Keep out of the reach of children.

Questions
do i take the fish out of the tank before using this?
- No, not at all. The fish stay in the tank while you dose it, just don't pour it on top of them.
Helpful?
How long should I wait to put the fish back in the aquarium after putting the easy balance in the water?
- I never took my fish out. I would use a 5 gallon bucket then add the proper amount of conditioner. I think it is better for the fish to stay in the tank while you clean it. I had a cyphon that I got from the pet store. Depending on how often you are doing a water change depends on what percentage of water you take out. If you are doing it once a week it’s only 10 % so once I put the conditioner in the water in the bucket I only wait 10 minutes before I pour in tank. Water should be a similar temp to tank water. I’m not sure. why you are taking fish Out of tank. You should never do a full tank change.

Why is this not available in Eau Claire?
Can I use this in a brackish tank with Green Spotted Puffers?
- I swear by this product but I have freshwater....try contacting the company....there is probably a “help line” number on the product
Helpful?
Can I add the Tetra Easy Balance Plus while my 29 gallon tank is still in the middle of cycling. I did a water test and everything looks ok. PH - 7.6 / High PH - 8.0 / Ammonia 0.25 ppm / Nitrite 0 / Nitrate 0 / Temp - 78F. Water is cloudy. Will this help?
- EB is more for adjusting established tanks, removing accumulated minerals and acids, I swear by this product. Tanks usually get cloudy during cycling I would increase bubbles and put a little food into the water to give the bacteria something to eat.....good luck I’ve had fish for 60 years and always enjoyed them
Helpful?
Does this lower ph?
- No, it actually prevents the lowering of pH from dissolved organic matter.
Helpful?
Do you need to remove your activated carbon while using this product?
- No, and this product works great!
Helpful?
I bought the tetra EasyBalance plus and used it all, then I got the regular tetra EasyBalance without the plus, can I still use it?
- Yes
Helpful?
every time i pour it, some of my fish start eating it...is that safe for them to eat?
- Thanks for asking! This product is safe for fish. You can remove a cup of tank water, mix in the easy balance, then pour the diluted mixture in the tank if you prefer. For more help contact Tetra at PHGreviews@spectrumbrands.com or call 1-800-526-0650.
Helpful?
Can this replace a water conditioner?
- This is a water conditioner, but no, it will not take out chlorine, chloramines or heavy metals.

After using metronidazole 400mg×2 tablets in 75 litre aquarium tank, my two parrot fish has thread like some seeing near gills and genital area ? How to treat them ?
My new glofish shark has long, white, stringy poop hanging off its body. I may have overfed him his glofish flakes. Is he constipated or stressed from being in a new tank? I treated the water with Aqua SafeStart and EasyBalance. What can I do to get him to poop?
I just cleaned my Betta fishes tank I put the same stuff as usual and a couple hours later he started just sitting at the bottom of the tank with his fins clamped together and now he's just sitting at the top and like vibrating his fins then clamping them shut again and I've noticed he lost a lot of his color
My redeared aquaa trutle hardly open eyes for seconds then close them and inactive with bubbles, i change water but i cant take it to vet what to do please
My Goldfish are usually happy cause they have a 120 gallon tank I have 10 Goldfish and they seem scared of something like they swim to one corner wait a bit then swim as fast as they can to the other I mean it’s raining but my White. Loads and Guppies are fine PLEASE HELP
My goldfish has been swimming to the top of the bank and looks like it's gasping for air it also looks stressed?
I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
My male Crowntail Betta fish is acting very lethargic, he stays at the bottom of the tank and only coming up for air, barely eats, his stomach looks hollow, and the scales along his back are raised. He has been this way for a few weeks but isn't getting better. I change his water weekly, and he lives in an environment where his is not caused stress.
My betta fish is bloated and has a dark patch on his left side where the scales are not laying flat. What I tried feeding him a pea, but it didn't help. Please help!
How much unflavored pedialyte would you give a 6lb senior cat to help prevent dehydration from diarrhea due transitioning to a new food? Can it be given directly with a feeding syringe or should it be diluted in water and if so how much dilution? Thank you.
Lioh weighs 9.2 lbs and has been prescribed nexgard 4-10lbs (6 packets or 6 months worth). I know he will be gaining weight over the next 6 months and therefore donno know if I should get him 3 packs instead of 6. What would you advice?
My foster dog got nexgard 48 hours ago and I gave her a flea/tick bath yesterday! I found 2 ticks on her still alive can I use the liquid medication hartz has that you apply to the back? I don’t want to overdose this little girl. She is only 18 lbs
