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

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.

How often should I put Tetra dechlorinator into my 2.2 gallon fish tank with three guppies in it? I know the amount, I just need the best time in between please. Thank you!
How to do clean water which fill in aquarium if doesn't have water conditioner?
Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me out. The internet doesn’t help out to much and the bottle of the test strips doesn’t tell me the ideal amount some of these should be at. So if you could help me out here I would really appreciate it. And please tell me the amount it should be at and if it isn’t ideal how to improve it please and thank you. GH• (General Hardness) 30 KH• (Carbonate Hardness) 40 pH• 7.0/7.5 NO2• 0 NO3• 0 I am testing the tank for a betta if that makes it vary.
When I add water conditioner, how long should I wait for to add my Betta back in?
Hello i have a fish tank 45l with 11 fishes in it (Shubunkin , opaline gourami , honey gourami , trichogaster etc) . i added the fish a week ago and tested the water and it was fine.today i see that 2 of my Scalars aren't eating like everyone else , so i tested the water . Everything was fine except for Nitrite levels that was 3.0 - 5.0 ppm. I changed 25 % of the water and added Easy Life Filter Medium and after some hours i tested again the water quality and it was the same I also added salt
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.
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
