## Description

From the manufacturer It’s Smart To Be Proactive! The best way to keep your aquarium clean is to maintain good water quality. This will keep your fish strong and vibrant, as well as preventing disease. How Do I Maintain A Healthy Environment? It is important to test your aquarium water weekly to verify good quality in addition to a bi-weekly partial water change of no more than 25% to help reduce toxic buildup, remove debris the filter missed, and replenish the oxygen available to fish. How Do I Take Good Care Of My Aquarium? Feed & observe fish daily Test water quality weekly Change 25% water bi-weekly Restore your ecosystem monthly Feed Your Fish Daily Feed your fish twice daily only the amount of food they can eat in 2 to 3 minutes depending on the species. Some fish such as bottom feeders and algae eaters will need up to 30 minutes to 2 hours. Overfeeding & low quality nutrition cause unconsumed food and more excrement which cloud water and raise harmful ammonia levels, possibly leading to fish loss. Take time to observe fish and the water temperature to ensure they are active & healthy. Test Water Quality Weekly An aquarium is a closed environment and in order for fish to thrive, water must be similar to that which could be found in their natural environment. Poor water quality can cause fish stress, illness and even loss. The 5 common water quality parameters are Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH - all of which may vary over time and all are invisible to the eye which is why it is important to test weekly with API MASTER TEST KITS or API 5-IN-1 TEST STRIPS. It is also a good time to add API STRESS ZYME to keep your aquarium & gravel clean. Change 25% Water Every 2 Weeks In a closed aquarium environment there are no natural rivers or streams to carry away debris and other waste materials. It is important to renew 25% of the aquarium water every two weeks. When you change the water, it is important to know that tap water contains chemicals that make it safe for us to drink but harmful for fish, therefore add a water conditioner such as API STRESS COAT. Restore Your Ecosystem Monthly It is important to change your filter media & clean gravel monthly, however in doing so it can disrupt the fragile ecosystem of your aquarium. Use API QUICK START to strengthen it with ‘beneficial’ nitrifying bacteria that will naturally consume toxic compounds and help prevent fish stress. Also recommended when starting a new aquarium or changing the water. Making A Better Underwater World At API, we understand the rewards and relaxation of fishkeeping because we have a passion for fish too. API offers a range of testing kits, water conditioners, and nutritionally superior food, because we’re dedicated to making a better underwater world.

Review: Gentle, effective, and easy-dose—solid remedy for fin rot, wounds, and tank recovery. - This bottle’s made to handle mild bacterial issues—natural tea tree extract that treats fin rot, ulcers, and open wounds without hammering your biofilter. Geared toward freshwater setups with sensitive fish or planted tanks. Doses clean, smells herbal, and doesn’t cloud the water. Works well in recovery setups—post-transport stress, minor injuries, or when fish start showing signs of wear. Ideal for van stash, pet kits, or home aquariums where you want low-impact treatment. Bottle’s easy to measure, and the 473ml size lasts through multiple rounds. Best used with good aeration—MELAFIX can reduce oxygen slightly, so keep your pump or air stone running. 👍 Pros ✅ Natural formula—tea tree based, gentle on fish ✅ Treats fin rot, wounds, ulcers, and abrasions ✅ Safe for plants and filters—no harsh chemicals ✅ Easy dosing—clear instructions on label ✅ Large bottle—covers multiple treatments 👎 Cons ❌ Mild strength—won’t fix severe infections ❌ Herbal scent—noticeable during dosing ❌ Needs aeration—can lower oxygen levels
Review: From lifeless to spring chicken - read my review and view images - Our fish was showing signs of septicaemia with blood spots, scales peeling away, very lethargic, not eating and fins that looked damaged beyond repair, so after a full tank change with 24 hour settled water, all plants removed to prevent further damage from brushing past, I followed a set routine of daily treatment using this treatment, within 2 days she became more active, and obvious signs of repair were visible, blood spots were disappearing and her fins were slowly starting to move more freely. It’s been 10 days and apart from the damaged scales on her side that are still healing, she’s back to herself, swimming, begging for food every time she sees anyone, safe to say my son is super happy that he’s not got to say goodbye to pepper just yet. Can’t recommend this product enough, well worth the money, the size was plenty for what I needed, but I’ll just continue to use it bi daily for the next few weeks to ensure that it is fully treated and doesn’t come back. And because she’s eating again equivalent to a St Bernard ( if we let her ) there’s less debris in the tank so the tank has stayed clearer. Also I’ve just noted that pre treatment her back was arched and looked so poorly, today she’s back straight, able to buoyant herself easily. I have attached pictures from day 1 to day 10 to show the difference. Absolutely superb result.
