"I was getting 30-40 ppm."It only requires 3 drops per gallon you add to your tank. I have two 36 gallon tanks right now. Use a heater and crank it to 82 degrees again without fish in the tank. This is the 5th since I put in the product and my tank is crystal clear. 1st day, I put product in tank with Fluval Biological Cleaner for Aquariums also. Fish would die occassionally every few weeks or so. I have been using API on his suits for 3 weeks now and so far so good.

"I trust them 100%."I intend to use this for every aquarium or pond I start. I have been using API on his suits for 3 weeks now and so far so good. The top is a measuring tool as well which I was not expecting. I like that it's a large bottle with multiple uses, so that's nice. This is only temporary till I get a spare dropper. I've had my fishy for 5 years now and I would say it's ALL because of Fluval. I recieved it today at 3pm and applied it around 4pm.

API 441D Final Thoughts
"I love Seachem."I read the reviews, and decided to give this a try. I tried it without the water change and really didn't make a difference. The aquasafe works instantly upon mixing with tap water. This water conditioner is a life saver! I've always had a love for fish and had a few tanks when I was younger. Use a water conditioner that does not remove ammonia. Ever since I made this purchase, my fish are not dying at all.

"Recieved it in 2 days."It didn't kill the fish or cause any problems with the water so I stuck with it. This water conditioner is a life saver! I've had my fishy for 5 years now and I would say it's ALL because of Fluval. I read the reviews, and decided to give this a try. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. It took a couple of days to clear but it works. The water we get here in SoCal is hard with chlorine in it.
