## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must have for any Aquarium Hobbyist
*by E***H on June 2, 2025*

Did my 2nd filter change (didn't have it on hand for the first one) and my fish were noticeably happier. The quality of the bottle is sturdy and I love the fact it comes with a measuring cup built into the lid. I highly recommend this. I also recommend if its your first time using something like this for your tank to do a double dose the first time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ API is great for conditioning plant water
*by M***A on May 27, 2025*

I bought this product for my plant water. I have very finicky plants, such as my prayer plants, and my tap water has too much chlorine etc. API is the perfect product for conditioning my tap water for plant use. Love this stuff!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Been using for years and I won’t stop using it in my fish hobby.
*by J***T on April 13, 2025*

I have been using this product for years and it has been amazing at protecting my fish from harmful chemicals found in tap water. It improves the water quality and keeps my fish safe. I add it whenever I do water changes, tap off my aquariums and add new fish. It’s actually so safe that I usually add a little over the recommended dosage just for my peace of mind.I recently added a 110g tank to my collection so I decided to get the big bottle of this. It works out better price wise and I’m using this stuff constantly. This is a staple in my fish keeping hobby. I highly recommend.
