Tetra Aquasafe

Just one more fishy themed review for the time being, this is another product I whole heartedly recommend that anyone keeping fish should have on hand. As we all know the tap water in the UK is safe for us to drink, but has several chemical additives as well as traces of the metals used in the pipes, among these are chlorine and metal ions, these while harmless to humans and large pets -cats, dogs etc - are not so good for fish in fact can kill them. So while most people know to leave water intended for aquaria to stand for a minium of 24 hours sometimes this just isnt practical so what else ... more

A friend of mine recently took on someone else's fish as that person was immigrating. However, she did not treat the water in the tank the fish were going to be tranferred into and sadly the two fish died within a week. I too have recently taken on someone else's fish and so decided to see what I could do to give the guest fish the best chance of survival on being transferred from his own tank to his new one. I asked the advice of a helpful lady in my local petshop and she recommended AquaSafe to me which makes tap water safe for fish. This is, according to the bottle, "a new formula which ... more

Our small fish tank only has a few danios in it, but they still need looking after, and one of the key things is that the water they live in has to be clean and habitable for them. Our tap water may be fine for us to drink, wash in, etc, but for fish, the mineral elements in the water, especially the chlorination in the cleaning process, can be deadly. To combat this, there are a number of products out there that you can use to 'clean' your water for fish, and one of these is this one, AquaSafe. It's a market leader and comes with a whole heap of recommendations, so we have only ever used this ... more

We have a large tropical fish tank in our home having upgraded from a Biorb tank to something over four times the size. This means that we need to undertake maintenance on a regular basis in our fish tank and this is why I use this Tetra Aquasafe. As we change water in our tank twice a week I bought this in a 250ml bottle. Now tap water conditioner is not something that I am brand loyal to when using, I tend to buy what is available at the pet store that I am visiting when I need it and then hope that it is a good quality product that works well. Tap water contains lots of minerals that are ... more

After having our fish tank for close to a year, we've decided to get a new tank, a fifty gallon one. Since we hadn't cleaned our current ten gallon tank in months, we decided to spend Saturday doing so. Never in my life did I think cleaning our tank would kill our fish but that's what ended up happening. We lost three tetras and a pleco. Puzzled, and very worried about our two Angels, we payed a late night (1 a.m.) visit to Wal-Mart searching for a remedy. We bought a PH test kit and also AquaSafe thinking that in our 100% water change (Don't ever do this!), we might have chemicals in the tank ... more
