Lots of water conditioners, chlorine removers, water clear, bacteria starters, ph balancers...etc, its all pretty expensive.
I just put water in my tank yesterday for the first time in a couple years. i have used this stuff in the past. I was buying some water conditioner and bacteria starter and the fish store guy told me these arent necessary, their just marketing gimmicks to sell stuff. that all i need to do is let it sit for 7 days with filter on and change 10% water monthly and its as good as its going to get.
i bought them anyway but curious what you guys think about these products.
kind i got claims less water changes and removes various metals and contaminates, calms fish, prevents new tank syndrome..etc...is it all true?
is there anything particular i should get, like salt or PH balancer?
i tried some ph balancer years ago that was white powder and it made a horrible mess inside my tank, all these white flakes everywhere laying about and it never went away, i always wondered about what happened there.*pc
