About API Water Conditioners
It’s Smart To Be Proactive!
The best way to keep your aquarium clean is to maintain good water quality. This will help keep your fish strong and vibrant and prevent disease. Water conditioners and test kits from API can help you keep your aquarium water safe and healthy.
How Do I Maintain a Healthy Environment?
It is important to test your aquarium water weekly to ensure it stays healthy for your fish. In addition, a bi-weekly partial water change of no more than 25% will help reduce toxic buildup, remove debris the filter missed, and replenish the oxygen available to your fish.
Feed Twice Daily and Test Water Weekly
Feed your fish twice a day, check their water temperature, and observe them to make sure they are active. You should also test water quality weekly for optimal safety. For fish to thrive, their water must closely match that of their natural environment—poor water quality can cause stress, illness and even fish loss. The 6 important parameters for healthy aquarium water are ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and water hardness (GH & KH). All of these can vary over time and are invisible to the eye.
Change Water and Restore the Ecosystem
In a closed aquarium environment, there are no natural rivers or streams to carry away debris and other waste materials. That is why you should replace 25% of your aquarium water every two weeks, making sure to add water conditioner to your tap water to make it safe for your fish. You should also change your filter media and clean your gravel monthly. Adding beneficial nitrifying bacteria with API Quick Start when you do will help restore your aquarium’s fragile ecosystem and avoid disruption.
What Do API Products Do and When Do I Use Them?
API Test Kits
Use test kits weekly to monitor water quality parameters, which can vary over time and impact the health of your fish.
API Stress Zyme
Using this every week will help keep your aquarium clean and your gravel and ornaments sludge-free.
API Algaefix
Use weekly to control algae growth and keep aquarium glass, ornaments and plants clean.
API Stress Coat
Use every 2 weeks during water changes to make tap water safe, and when adding fish, or when fish are injured.

rating accu-clear water cleaner
This did not do a thing. I am having trouble getting my water clear again. I think it may be my filters. I changed my whole house filter system, hoping that will clear it up. It has been so clear for several years then it just got cloudy. I have been using the API goldfish aquarium cleaner for years and it worked.
made my water worst
I added one cap full of the bottle and it instantly got more cloudy I thought it might clear up by today but hasn’t. Very disappointed
larger item
This too was larger than I have ordered in the past and didn't realize it. I am so pleased that I did. It is well worth it.
Awesome Product
This is an excellent water clarifier! It truly works! It cleared up my son's fish tank within an hour & the tank was pretty cloudy. I usually use another popular brand to clear the tank, but I saw the reviews for API Accu Clear Freshwater Aquarium Clarifier & decided to give it a try,& it's a great product in a small bottle!
Made my water worse
This didn't clear my water, it actually made my water cloudy
the product does what it says it will do
I was at first a little skeptical about using this but decided to go ahead and given it a try. Put 5 ml of it in my 50 gallon aquarium and waited to see what it does. Almost right away the water turned very cloudy but after a short period of time you could see the water beginning to clear up. After about 8 hours my tank was crystal clear
Clear water
The turtle tank is so clear, I recommend everyone get this and add it with stress zyme and sludge destroyer
Not the best
Did not work as description stated. It was added to the tank and the fish were acting fun. Also, it made the water clouded. Don't recommend.
Works great
It really does work well and is perfect for our 3 gallon betta tank. I love Chewy as well. Great company
Great product
I was very skeptical but about 8 hours later a big improvement
