Was wondering what’s a good tap water conditioner. I’ve been paying for 5 gallon deer park bottles for the past 4 years for my freshwater tank and its getting to much for me any suggestions. Also are there any other products I should get making the switch to tap water/anything in general that will do my tank good.
