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.

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

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

Does this lower ph?
- No, it actually prevents the lowering of pH from dissolved organic matter.

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.
