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 neutralises harmful elements in tap water, and adds beenficial substances to create healthy, fish-friendly water.

• Contains special compounds that eliminate chlorine and bind up heavy metals.
• Contains colloids that coat the fish, protecting them against infection.
• Contains stress-reducing vitamins, and compounds that inhibit bacteria and fungi, thereby mitigating the stressful effects of aquarium maintenance
• Contains substances that help create an ideal environment for beneficial filter bacteria
• Unlike most water conditioners, AquaSafe leaves no residues and is completely broken down to harmless substances

Application

Add AquaSafe to new tap water at a rate of 5ml per 10litres (2gallons), to make it safe prior to adding it to the aquarium. AquaSafe can also be added directly to the aquarium at the same dosage to act as a general stress-reliever. This is especially helpful for new fish, following maintenance, or when treating the fish for a disease. 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.
