Hikari Ultimate 1/2 gal (MPN 72337)

The world's first full-function water conditioner, Ultimate, is perfect for freshwater, marine, or pond environments. This product offers everything you need in a single bottle to maintain an excellent habitat for your aquatic pets. With Ultimate, you can instantly age water for new setups, allowing you to enjoy your pets without worrying about the negative effects of toxic chloramine, ammonia, chlorine, heavy metals, or nitrite. It destroys chloramines, removes ammonia and chlorine, detoxifies heavy metals, boosts alkalinity, replaces skin slime-coat, detoxifies nitrite, and reduces fish stress. Ultimate also adds essential electrolytes and instantly ages water, creating a safe environment for your aquatic pets. Rest assured, it is non-toxic to humans, pets, and aquatic life. To use Hikari Pond Solutions Ultimate, for new aquariums, ponds, or after water additions, add 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) per 10 gallons of water. For larger applications, use 1 oz per 60 gallons of water. It is recommended to perform regular water changes to maintain stable alkalinity and pH levels. Use Ultimate as needed to eliminate and control ammonia, following the regular dosage rate for each 1 mg/L of measured total ammonia. It is important to use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit for accuracy. For dissolved-oxygen (DO) testing, use a DO meter or an indigocarmine test. However, avoid using Ultimate with permanganate-based or chlorate-based treatments, as it is contraindicated. Nessler's total ammonia test may give false readings, while Winkler dissolved oxygen tests may provide inaccurate results.
