Dont get regular water conditioner
By fishnpups on Dec 20, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I uses to work at a 0et store and this is what we used. Get this over the water conditioner for the added soothing to the fish with aloe vera. Useful for water cinditioning, when you do water changes, new tank inhabitants, all of it! I used this when i had saltwater tanks and freshwater and its the best bang for your buck and very good at diing what it does.

I do regular water changes and use tap. This is a must have for me and I've been using it forever. It's a tried and true product! I don't have to do HUGE water changes so I never have to use a bunch. Last forever... I take care of my tank. Plant safe too
