Water Conditioner

Postby jcunningham0295 » Fri May 18, 2012 9:43 am

Just curious, what does everyone recommend for a water conditioner? Stress Coat+, Prime or something else?

I know you're in MI but it depends on your water supply. I use nothing because I use an automated system on my tanks and the water is safe to use in small doses at one time.

Kyle May just bought a load of water treatment from Ken's fish that you mix your self. One gallon of the mixture treats like 37K gallons of fresh water with something like one drop per ten gallons. Look here...http://www.kensfish.com/moreinfo/sodium-thiosulfate.html

I like Prime or the product made by Hagen. But I have only used them in doing test. For my tanks I do not use anything. I add water in increments when filling my tanks. I run water for 3 minutes and based on my flow rate that is 18 gallons. Then I wait 30 minutes and repeat the process until the tank is full.
