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.

Great Products!
We have a 29 gallon tank and use stress zyme and stress coat for water changes/maintenance. For over a year we’ve been using it, and it does the trick!
I trust this brand with my fish!
I have used these for years. I recently tried a different product and had a lot of issues with my tanks. I am back to what I know works!
Great deal!
My fish love the food. This package provides a big savings. I love the attached measurements.
