"It was a viscous cycle."From their own colon or a hole in the ground. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. I read another review for this product saying they were using API for this purpose. Do not gravel vac or disturb the substrate. I like API products and this is no different. Initially this was used as a sample packet came with our aquarium. I'm sold on this, I've tried SO MANY and wow.

Aqueon 100106005 Final Thoughts
"So easy to use."I have a 5 gallon tank, so that number was waaaay too high for me. If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. I wanted to see if it would take the chlorine out of my swimsuit. I've using this for my betta for several years with every water change. It took a couple of days to clear but it works. I use in a freshwater aquarium and works well. I wanted to see if it would take the chlorine out of my swimsuit.

"Very good product."It didn't kill the fish or cause any problems with the water so I stuck with it. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted. I did water changes, but it didn't help.

"This pristine is amazing!"You need a source of ammonia to feed the bacteria which Dr. I had a parasite problem, and had to heal my fishes scales and fins. I hope I made the right decision, Betty is our family pet and is really loved! Boy, I thought I was having trouble with my filter. In my opinion there's nothing better. DON'T just wait everything will be fine. I do not use this as a product to treat my tap water.

"But that wasn't the case!"I have been battling cloudy water in our small aquarium for two months. I tried it without the water change and really didn't make a difference. My water is crystal clear again, and it smells like a healthy fish tank again. No exaggeration-- literally cleared overnight. The afternoon I received this product I added half a dose to each aquarium. I love it when a product does what its supposed to. I have used this consistently since cycling my small sized fresh-water tank.

"Crystal clear in fact."It is just as good when compared to other brands of conditioner. If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. I use mine for my beta fish in a 2 gallon tank and need less than a half a cap full. One planted that has algae problem so bad. This came just in time for my water change day! I love all of the API products, especially their easy to use test kits. Don't know if that made a difference but it didn't hurt.

Ever since I made this purchase, my fish are not dying at all. I've always had a love for fish and had a few tanks when I was younger. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon.
