"They eat and poop a lot."

She seems ok with it she is behaving like herself. From their own colon or a hole in the ground. It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. This is definitely worth trying if you have cloudy water. Beats the heck out of those expensive suit cleaners. This worked really well for my tank. She seems ok with it she is behaving like herself.

Loving Pets F50 Final Thoughts

"Then go for it."

I decided to pick it up once again and struggled mightily my first few months. Pictures included to see the difference. My fish didn't appear negatively effected by it either. Don't know if that made a difference but it didn't hurt. Dunkin, my Betta doesn't seem to stress out over my adding this. If you're treating injured fins or introducing new fish, this is for you. Do not clean the filters, do not change the filters.

Loving Pets F25 First Impressions

"I have a small 2."

I like API products and this is no different. I have a 5 gallon tank, so that number was waaaay too high for me. My water is crystal clear again, and it smells like a healthy fish tank again. I used to use AmQuel years ago and then spent years out of the aquarium hobby. I have two 36 gallon tanks right now. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully. I love it when a product does what its supposed to.

"Highly recommended."

Tim's cultures were obviously very alive and active. Dealing with biological cloudiness in my tank for some time. I hope it makes the swimsuit last longer. I have been battling cloudy water in our small aquarium for two months. It's water change day so I did this step first then started cleaning the tank. I've used API water conditioner before and it works well. I'm sold on this, I've tried SO MANY and wow.

"No argument from me."

My water is crystal clear again, and it smells like a healthy fish tank again. Fish seem healthy and active during use. But the septic tank bacteria did nothing. This is my go to water conditioner and stressed fish treatment. Yes I know, they aren't supposed to live that long and no I can't prove it. The water we get here in SoCal is hard with chlorine in it. My water is crystal clear again, and it smells like a healthy fish tank again.

"Highly recommend!"

I was sort of nervous buy this product and trying it out. By the following morning, the water was clear of algae. This is my go to water conditioner and stressed fish treatment. It's a must for anyone who loves Goldfish. It took a couple of days to clear but it works. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon. 2nd day kinda noticed a slight change in water.

"It really works."

The aquasafe works instantly upon mixing with tap water. I've always had a love for fish and had a few tanks when I was younger. We use it when we clean& change out water. I have a 5 gallon tank, so that number was waaaay too high for me. During cycling you will be using often. My tap water is very heavy and this water conditioner does it's magic.

"Tims bacteria."

Boy, I thought I was having trouble with my filter. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon. This will give you how many drops is required per gallon. I was sort of nervous buy this product and trying it out. Do not gravel vac or disturb the substrate. API Stress Coat is a phenomenal product.

Thanks to the Amazon reviewer who mentioned this! I had a parasite problem, and had to heal my fishes scales and fins. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted.

"00 product."

I did water changes, but it didn't help. We use it when we clean& change out water. I wanted to see if it would take the chlorine out of my swimsuit. It gets rid of the chlorine in tap water. I know you are going to worry about your fish DON'T they are fine. Fish possess an antioxidant defense system to reduce the negative effects of ROS.

DON'T just wait everything will be fine. I have two goldfish and a Corydoras catfish. I use in a freshwater aquarium and works well. It is just as good when compared to other brands of conditioner. Fish are aerobic organisms that are susceptible to ROS. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. I'll continue to use this product, especially after a good tank cleaning.

Just an idea incase someone doesn't have a spare dropper. I have been using API on his suits for 3 weeks now and so far so good. But the septic tank bacteria did nothing. During cycling you will be using often. I have had aquariums for 40 years and have always used their product Cycle. No exaggeration-- literally cleared overnight.

"It really works."

The afternoon I received this product I added half a dose to each aquarium. It is just as good when compared to other brands of conditioner. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. It is much safer to simply to add 3 drops per gallon. I read another review for this product saying they were using API for this purpose. This product is exactly what it says it is. This is the 5th since I put in the product and my tank is crystal clear.
