Hikari Ultimate 1 Gallon (MPN 72338)

This is the world's first full-function water conditioner that is great for freshwater, marine, or pond environments. It provides everything you need in one bottle to maintain a superior environment for your aquatic pets. The Ultimate water conditioner instantly ages water, allowing you to enjoy your pets in action quicker without fear of the negative impact of toxic chloramine, ammonia, chlorine, heavy metals, or nitrite. The Ultimate water conditioner offers a wide range of benefits including the destruction of chloramines, the addition of essential electrolytes, the removal of ammonia and chlorine, the boost of alkalinity, the replacement of skin slime-coat, the detoxification of nitrite and heavy metals, the reduction of fish stress, the instant aging of water, and the creation of a safe environment for your aquatic pets. It is also non-toxic to humans, pets, and aquatic life. For optimal use, the Ultimate water conditioner should be added to new aquariums or ponds, after or during water additions, or before adding new fish, amphibians, invertebrates, or plants. The recommended dosage is 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) of Ultimate per 10 gallons of water. Regular water changes are also recommended to maintain alkalinity and pH stability. Use a salicylate type total ammonia test kit to monitor ammonia levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. However, it is important to note that the Ultimate water conditioner should not be used with permanganate-based or chlorate-based treatments as it may interfere with test results.
