API Aqua Essential All in One Water Conditioner

API Aqua Essential All in One Water Conditioner is used to instantly make tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine, chloramine, and detoxifying heavy metals, while also binding toxic ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate in freshwater, saltwater, and planted aquariums.

AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner is a highly concentrated all-in-one water conditioner that instantly makes tap water safe for fish by removing chlorine, and chloramine and detoxifies heavy metals commonly found in tap water. AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner instantly removes toxic ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels in freshwater, saltwater, and planted aquariums. Toxic ammonia is continually released by fish through their gills, urine, and solid waste. Uneaten food and decaying organic matter also add ammonia. Small amounts of ammonia stress fish; large amounts of ammonia will kill fish. This unique formula binds with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate rendering them non-toxic and allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. 

Use at start-up and whenever adding or changing water or when tested levels of ammonia, nitrates or nitrite are high. When adding, transporting, or quarantining fish, we recommend using API STRESS COAT™ water conditioner which is ideal for use with AQUA ESSENTIAL water conditioner.

Directions: Using the dosing cap on the bottle, add 5 ml. per 200 liters of aquarium water to treat tap water. Add 5 ml. per 40 liters of aquarium water to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.  We advise you to wait 24 hours after dosing and then do a water change.  If you dose within that 24-hour period there is no danger to the animals/plants in your aquarium. A follow-up water change is always beneficial to an aquatic system.

FAQ

Will API® AQUA ESSENTIAL™ affect my aquarium’s protein skimmers?

AQUA ESSENTIAL will not disrupt any type of protein skimmer. 

Is there a possibility to overdose AQUA ESSENTIAL in my aquarium?

When dosing AQUA ESSENTIAL we advise following the directions, but the product formulation does allow for a margin in the event a tank is accidentally dosed with slightly higher amount than specified.

Is it safe to use AQUA ESSENTIAL in my aquarium with other aquatic animals like snails or shrimp?

Yes, it is safe to use AQUA ESSENTIAL with other aquatic animals.

Can I use AQUA ESSENTIAL with other API® products?

AQUA ESSENTIAL can be used in conjunction with any other API water conditioner or medication.

Does AQUA ESSENTIAL affect the pH in my aquarium?

When AQUA ESSENTIAL is dosed according to the label the pH will not be affected.

Can I double the dose for AQUA ESSENTIAL if I have high levels of chloramines?

AQUA ESSENTIAL is designed to treat chloramines without the need to use a double dose.  For those customers who automatically double dose there is not a problem using AQUA ESSENTIAL for this, but it is not necessary.

How often should I wait between doses of AQUA ESSENTIAL?

Once a dose is provided to the aquarium, it is recommended to wait for 24 to 48 hours between doses.

How long will AQUA ESSENTIAL bind ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for?

Once AQUA ESSENTIAL is dosed it will bind the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate for up to 48 hours or longer.  Testing is the best way to judge if additional dosing is necessary.  In water conditions with highly elevated levels, overstocked with fish, or extremely overfed we always recommend a partial water change after 24 hours to aid the fish in the best water quality.   Also, any ammonia or nitrite that is bound by AQUA ESSENTIAL is metabolically available for beneficial bacteria to process.  So your biological filters will be able to function when using AQUA ESSENTIAL.

How much ammonia will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL?

When treating for ammonia, with a 5 ml/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a 20-40 ppm reduction in ammonia.  

How much nitrite will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL?

When treating for nitrite, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a 15-30 ppm reduction in nitrite.

How much nitrate will be removed per dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL?

When treating for nitrate, a 5 mL/10 gal. dose of AQUA ESSENTIAL, you should expect a large reduction of nitrate, ~ 40-60 ppm reduction in nitrate.

Pillow comfort and quality
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Bought this for my husband. He is very happy with it. It is well constructed. He doesn’t like too firm or too soft. It meets those requirements. Very reasonably priced. I have bought very expensive pillows that aren’t even comfortable!

Pretty good.
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Me and my fiancé have been going through a lot of pillows, trying to find the right ones. We go to this local hotel to unwind and use the whirlpool sometimes. Their pillows are immaculate. So I starting looking at “Hotel Pillows”. These are not the same as the hotel pillows, not even close tbh, but they are the best ones I’ve bought so far. They are comfy from day one. I was worried when opening the box and seeing that they had the same cover on them as others I bought before, but they were not the same. Pretty comfortable, and less neck pain than any of the other ones. My house is like the house of pillows and I am finally going to start getting rid of the old ones. Maybe we’ll find some down pillows to put on our registry, but until then, these are staying on my bed.

Absolutely Amazing!! Truly the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
I absolutely love these pillows. They couldn't be more perfect! I have spent years buying and throwing out pillow after pillow. I struggle with a lot of neck and upper back pain and I struggled even more trying to find the right pillow on top of spending several hundred dollars on pillows that just got tossed. If you want a great night of sleep and you want to wake up feeling refreshed and not struggling with fatigue and every day neck or back pain you absolutely MUST give these pillows a try!!! They are super easy to wash, made with great quality and have not once bothered my many allergies like most pillows do. I have not noticed any of the chemical odors moat pillows give off, easy to adjust does great with just occasional fluffing. So far has stayed fluffy for me although I did put it in the dryer a time or two as the instructions stated to help with extra fluff and also because I couldn't wait for them to air fluff when they first arrived, an Air B&B we stayed at had these and I ordered them before we even headed back home I loved them so much I had to order my own and was too impatient to wait!
