What up everybody few things. 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. Thanks I appreciate it

I always swear my Seachem Prime, a bottle may seem dearer initially but you need such small quantities it lasts for ages, I run a 100 gallon tank and do 12 gallon daily water changes but a 500ml bottle lasts me a year.

so what do you use to lock the nasties as it sounds like you are adding a fungicide

a fungicide will not lock the chloramines etc. change to a commercial conditioner like prime or aquaplus

Cycle, Stress Coat+, Stress Zyme, etc. Go to www.drsfostersmith.com There you will find an extensive catalog of chemical treatments you may need depending on what kind of tank you are setting up.

dont use stress zyme as a conditioner, it is just bacteria for cycling tanks.
