API Aqua Essential Aquarium Water Conditioner 473 ml Bottle

Product Information

Its affordable price point makes it even more attractive, as you can get all the benefits of having healthy aquarium water without breaking the bank! Api Water Conditioner Why can API CO2 BOOSTER™ product be dosed daily, but API LEAF ZONE™ plant fertilizer is only dosed weekly? The Aloe Vera aspect of this product is what makes it absolutely incredible at conditioning your fish tank water. Most of the time, when your aquarium seems murky, the simplest solution is a water change. This ensures that any waste or debris causing the poor conditions is eliminated, so you can start with a clean slate. Partial water changes usually mean scooping out the top layer (top 25%) of aquarium water and replacing it with dechlorinated tap water (tip: API STRESS COAT™ water conditioner instantly removes chlorine and chloramines from tap water, making it safe for your fish). You should also siphon your gravel during cleaning to remove any visible particles of waste. If you are using API STRESS COAT as a dechlorinator to make tap water safe, you should dose enough for the amount of new water you are adding to the aquarium. If you are using API STRESS COAT to help your fish recover from injury or a disease, dose enough for the amount of water in the whole aquarium.

API SALTWATER MASTER TEST KIT tests for high range pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, all of which need to be regularly monitored for proper water conditions for your fish. Easy to see that API is about half the price! They both do the exact same thing for years! If you know you have just Chlorine in your water, API uses less than Prime.Prime and API conditioner are two different types of specialty chemicals used in the oil and gas industry. Prime conditioners are designed to improve the quality of crude oils by removing undesirable properties, such as waxes, paraffin deposits, suspended solids and other contaminants. API Conditioners on the other hand are mainly used to reduce foaming or emulsification problems in refining processes or in downstream applications like fuel storage tanks or pipelines. We will also identify the pros and cons of the api aqua prime water treatment system compared to essential. Introduction To Api Aqua Prime And Its Features The reverse osmosis technology in the api aqua essential system helps remove up to 99% of total dissolved solids, which makes it more effective in providing pure and safe drinking water. Cleanses and detoxifies tap water by removing chlorine, chloramines, ammonia, and heavy metals. In short, it helps you get rid of all the elements that may cause harm to your fish.

Dose some clean water with ammonia to 1 ppm. Prepare the Seachem ammonia alert (if you're using that) by pre-moistening it with clean ammonia free water then submerge it in the ammonia water. It will react only to the NH3 in the water. The Salifert test will only react to NH3 as well. Dose the 1ppm ammonia water with the appropriate amount of Prime for the volume of water you have treated with ammonia. Stir it up and after a few minutes retest it with your API test and the Salifert test. The Salifert test will now test 0 ppm ammonia, the API test will still read 1 ppm ammonia. The Seachem ammonia alert will slowly return to the yellow color which is "safe" or detecting no NH3. In another post we were involved in, you stated that the mechanism of detoxification was to convert the toxic ammonia(free ammonia) to relatively nontoxic ammonium. API MELAFIX fish remedy is a treatment for external bacterial infections in fish, such as fin rot or open wounds. The problem with Prime for me is what it does (or doesn't do) beyond just dechlorinate. The "detoxification" of heavy metals for example. Prime does this with a chemical that--according to Seachem--prevents the uptake of heavy metals that are plant nutrients (iron, copper, zinc, manganese). This is why Seachem recommend not using Flourish or other fertilizers for 36+ hours after a water change using Prime. The API TWC does not have this issue, and fertilizers are safe to add following the water change.StressZyme and Stress Coat are both excellent products from API. They’re both targeted for different purposes.
