## Description

Product Description Tetra AquaSafeTetra AquaSafe is ideal for using during water changes and when setting up a new aquarium as it makes tap water safe for fish within a matter of seconds: it removes any harmful substances in the water, such as chlorine, chloramine, copper zinc and lead, immediately and thoroughly. What’s more, its vitamin B mix reduces any stress that fish may experience during water changes.

Iodine supports vitality while magnesium promotes the growth and well-being of fish and plants.

Tetra AquaSafe instantly makes tap water safe for fish and provides the ideal basis for a healthy life in an aquarium.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product.
*by P***L on 27 January 2026*

Great product, effective and easy to use. Essential whenever tap water is used to fill or part change tank water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super value and my fish are vigorous and healthy
*by A***R on 3 February 2026*

Used this for years. My fish and plants are healthy and my water stays clear for ages. A little goes a long way so 500 ml lasts for at least 6 months. I change 50% of the water every 2 weeks (150 l aquarium). Very good value at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
