Additional Information
The advanced new formula of API Aqua Essential(118ml) comes with an adequate level of concentration and has the widest coverage in removal and detoxifying activity of tap water. API Aqua Essential(118ml) takes care of chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in both freshwater and saltwater.
Aqua Essential water conditioner(118ml) is a highly concentrated all-in-one water conditioner that instantly makes tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine and chloramine, thus detoxifying heavy metals commonly found in municipal supply tap water.
Aqua Essential water conditioner(118ml) instantly removes toxic ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels in freshwater, saltwater and planted aquariums. Toxic ammonia is continually released by fish through their gills, urine and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia to the water. Small amounts of ammonia can stress fish’s health; large amounts of ammonia can definitely kill the fish in the tank. This unique formula binds with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, rendering them non-toxic and allowing the biofilter to remove them more effectively.
When adding, transporting or quarantining fish, we recommend using API STRESS COAT water conditioner, which is ideal for use along with AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner. Use API AQUA ESSENTIAL(118ml) at start-up and whenever adding or changing water, or if tested levels of ammonia, nitrates or nitrite come to a high level.
