At times it is necessary to add tap water to the aquarium, as part of a water change or a top-up. Tap water is designed for human use, and therefore contains high levels of chlorine to kill germs. In addition, it may contain varying levels of toxic heavy metals. Both chlorine and heavy metals are toxic to fish, and will cause them long-term damage and stress. Leaving water to stand will not remove all of these factors, and so is not an alternative to using a water conditioner. AquaSafe works by instantly neutralising these harmful substances, and should be used every time new water is added to the aquarium. In addition, AquaSafe also reduces stress, promotes wound healing and protects against infection, and adds a protective coating to the fish.

How to Use
Add AquaSafe to new tap water at a rate of 5ml per 10litres (2gallons), to make it safe prior to doing a water change. AquaSafe can also be added directly to the aquarium at the same dosage, to act as a general stress-reliever. When preparing water for water changes, it is best to treat it with AquaSafe in a bucket beforehand, and use boiled tap water to warm it to the same temperature as the aquarium.

Refreshing aquarium water is an essential part of good fishkeeping, and is necessary in order to keep your fish healthy. Traditionally, the only way to do this was through time-consuming regular partial water changes. Now this is no longer necessary, as EasyBalance can replace the refreshing action of a water change. By using EasyBalance, you can reduce the frequency of water changes, to a minimum of once every 6 months. By reducing the number of stressful water changes, and adding essential elements to the aquarium, EasyBalance also helps to maintain improved fish condition. In addition, EasyBalance contains elements for encouraging healthy plant growth, and it actively reduces nitrate and phosphates, thus helping to control algae.

How to Use
Add EasyBalance to the aquarium at a rate of 2.5ml per 10litres (2 gallons) every week, to replace regular water changes. Perform a proper water change, using tap water conditioned with AquaSafe, at least once every 6 months. When using EasyBalance, ensure that the aquarium is properly aerated. EasyBalance is only suitable for use in mature tanks, with a fully functioning filter. It is still important to keep the gravel clean while using EasyBalance, through occassional siphoning with a TetraTec HydroClean gravel siphon.
