Water Conditioners- what do you use?

[timisu87]

I am stuck between the pro kent product and the bio-safe that I have previously used in the past. I am planning on ordering an huge amount so that it will last me for a long while. Any suggestions? College has got kept me out of the hobby a bit but im back now!


Ooops wrong area.

I'd do a search on the forums about this, we have had the debate a few times. Many people use Prime, I personally use bigal's generic version of stress coat. Never heard of the bio-safe one you're talking about...and don't have any experience with the pro kent one either so I'm afraid I can't help with that. You just need to make sure that it does what you need it to, mainly dechlorinate There are some products that kind of look like conditioners but are NOT dechlorinators, so be sure to read thoroughly.

Good to see you back

I just heard of biosafe tonight myself. It's in the documentation for my new marineland 5 gal hex I set up.

I personally are a NovAqua plus fan. 1 TSP per 10 gal of water. I buy the 16fl oz bottles and it lasts me quite a while and I use it for 3 tanks. I get it for about 10 bucks a bottle - I know there are bigger bottles available too.

The problem with the bio-safe was that it had an rotten egg scent to it after being used in the tank that I did not like very much. I ordered the 64oz of the big als multipurpose conditioner. That was a good investment, 12.99 for 2.5 gallons.

I get the AP Tap Water Conditioner in gallon jugs. A drop treats a gallon of water, so it goes a long way
