API TAP WATER CONDITIONER 64 oz – Aquarium Water Conditioner for Freshwater & Saltwater

Overview

API TAP WATER CONDITIONER is a 64-ounce bottle designed to treat tap water before you introduce fish to an aquarium. Tap water can contain chlorine and chloramines that may irritate gill tissue and affect how fish take up oxygen. This formula neutralizes chlorine and chloramines and detoxifies heavy metals, helping to create water that is gentler for both new and established aquatic life.

Built with a high-concentration formula, the product is designed for efficient dosing. The label suggests as little as 3 ml for every 10 gallons of water, making it practical for both setup and regular maintenance. The conditioner is described as safe for all aquatic life and suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Key benefits

• Neutralizes chlorine, chloramines, and other chemicals to make tap water safer for fish.
• Detoxifies heavy metals that may be present in tap water.
• High-concentration formula allows small doses for larger water volumes.
• Safe for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums, including during setup and when adding new fish.
• Designed to work alongside other API aquarium products for a cohesive care routine.

How to use

• Measure the recommended amount (up to 3 ml per 10 gallons) and add to dechlorinated water before introducing fish.
• Use during aquarium setup to condition new water, or during water changes to refresh tank water.
• When adding new fish, treat the new water before the fish go in to help minimize stress.

In real-life use, the water may appear clear and ready for gradual fish introduction. Hobbyists often appreciate dosing simplicity and the ability to treat both freshwater and saltwater with the same product. API has a long history of developing research-driven solutions for fish care, and this conditioner is designed to support a balanced, inviting home for aquatic life.

Note: Always follow the product directions to ensure the best results. Using API products together as directed helps maintain tank balance and ease of routine maintenance.
