Water Conditioner?

[proton]

Hi guys, which water conditioner do you guys use?
I'm running low and normally use Aquasafe, but I have come across Nutrafin Aqua + 2 and it's cheaper, what are your comments?

I do daily water changes and alternate between API's Tap Water Conditoner and Seachem's Prime... Nutrafin is Hagen's water conditioner and should do the job nicely. I will PM you a link to water-conditioner comparisons

Brialliant, thanks... Here is the link incase anyone else wants to check... ---> Water Conditioners

You do daily water changes ? How much do you change, and if I may ask, why do you change every day?

i did do daily changes when cycling my first tank as i had fish in it...it cycled in 2 weeks with no deaths....but didn't know about this forum at the time.

At that time i did small 20% changes.

PRIME. My only complaint is it stinks in the bottle, it does not stink after being added in the tank.

I use tetra aquasafe but waterlife haloex does the most

If by water conditioner you mean a dechlorinator you need to do a little research. If your tap water is treated with chloramine, a lot of the dechlor products on the market do not neutralize chloramine. So, to be on the safe side make sure the product you are using will neutralize both chlorene and chloramine. Ptime does both.

I use a basic pond declor, there is many a topic on the subject of dechlor and a few have not used it and have seen no ill effects, I forget to use it at times and see no problems it not using it, unless you are doing a very large water change.

thanks for saying that... I use it on alternate days because i hate the smell of it when i open that bottle - still - it seems like the best water conditioner out there...

Why are you using it so often? You really only need a water conditioner or dechlorinator when you do water changes.

I use pond declor, have always, lasts a long time!

+3 for pond dechlor! The 16oz bottle will last me a long time at 1 TBSP/50 gallons

Seachem Prime is great. I like the smell too.
