Shake Well. To start new aquariums, add entire bottle to aquariums up to 100 gallons. Aquarium is then ready for fish. Consult your retailer for advice on type and number of fish appropriate for your aquarium. For healthy maintenance, add one teaspoon (5ml) for every 10 gallons when adding fish, after water changes or after replacing filter media. Maintain a constant, appropriate water temperature in your aquarium. Note: Live Bacteria - do not freeze or expose to heat. For aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children.

Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.
Trying to treat betta for Popeye otherwise healthy happy and active. Moved from five to three gallon filtered heated tanks. Feed freeze dried blood worms, daphnia and bug bites by fluval. Also am changing some if not all water every few days. Treated with kanaplex several doses no real improvement. Switzed to metroplex in water treatment as I don't know how food treatment works or how to dose started four doses two days apart and there is some improvement to the eyes. Med is miconidazole.
I bought aquarium salt for my betta fish. How many times should I do a water change for his treatment?
How often should I put Tetra dechlorinator into my 2.2 gallon fish tank with three guppies in it? I know the amount, I just need the best time in between please. Thank you!
Hello i stared a 75 galloon 6 weeks ago nine tertas in there saturday and sunday did small water changes should i do every week or wait until tank is fully cycled? Had high nitrites levels thanks
My goldfish has popeye and I have been treating it with Kanaplex. I have given my fish 3 doses of kanaplex and I don’t see him getting any better. The container said to add only up to 3 doses. Can I add more doses of kanaplex to continue treating my goldfish?
I’m trying to cycle a 10 gal fish tank. I have been adding your biological booster for a month now and nothing is happening. The ammonia is holding steady at .5 ppm and I’m not seeing any nitrites. Is there a way I can test to see if there are actually live bacteria in the booster. I’ve checked everything else I can think of.
I made up a lot of Dupont Virkon with water two month ago and I am doing clean now for regular cleaning, but is the Dupont Virkon still work? I save the Dupont Virkon water in a airtight watering can. Thank you for your reply.
My 10 gal freshwater tank has been infected with ich. I am treating the tank, but still my fish are dying. If I were to just clean it out and start over with fresh water, new substrate, and a clean tank, would that get rid of the ich? Can I clean it with a chemical when it is empty to totally kill the ich? How do I get rid of the Ich!?!
How to do clean water which fill in aquarium if doesn't have water conditioner?
I recently lost more than half of my fish tank due to ich. I did the “super ick” medicine and managed to save the remaining fish in my tank. I was wondering when it was safe to introduce new fish into my tank so that I can rebuild it.
