Hikari Ultimate 1 oz. (MPN 72231)

This is a description of the Hikari Pond Solutions Ultimate, a water conditioner designed for freshwater, marine, or pond environments. It is the first full-function water conditioner in the world, offering everything needed in one bottle to create a superior environment for aquatic pets. The product is particularly beneficial for new setups as it instantly ages water, allowing pet owners to enjoy their aquatic companions without the negative effects of toxic chloramine, ammonia, chlorine, heavy metals, or nitrite. The Hikari Pond Solutions Ultimate offers a range of benefits, including the destruction of chloramines, the addition of essential electrolytes, the removal of ammonia and chlorine, the boosting of alkalinity, the replacement of skin slime-coat, the detoxification of nitrite and heavy metals (including copper), the reduction of fish stress, and the creation of a safe environment for aquatic pets. Importantly, this water conditioner is non-toxic to humans, pets, and aquatic life. The application rates for the Hikari Pond Solutions Ultimate are as follows: for new aquariums or ponds, or when adding new fish, amphibians, invertebrates, or plants, add 1 teaspoonful (5 mL) of Ultimate per 10 gallons of water. For larger applications, use 1 oz per 60 gallons of water. Regular water changes are recommended to maintain stable alkalinity and pH levels. The product can be used to eliminate and control ammonia, based on specific dosage rates for measured total ammonia levels. However, it should not be used with permanganate-based or chlorate-based treatments, as it may interfere with specific tests.
