Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Aquarium Tap Water Safe is an essential water conditioner designed for both tropical and coldwater aquarium owners who need to neutralize harmful chemicals in tap water. It provides an immediate safety solution by removing chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals, while protecting fish with specialized stress-reducing colloids during transportation or when introducing new stock. While it excels at chemical neutralization, users should note that it does not actively populate the aquarium with beneficial bacteria, meaning it works best when paired with a biological supplement like NT Labs Filter Starter for comprehensive water health.

Troubleshooting
Fish appear stressed after a water change.
Verify that you have treated the full volume of new water with the correct dosage of Tap Water Safe and ensured the temperature of the new water matches the tank.
I accidentally overdosed the aquarium.
While the product is generally safe, if a massive overdose occurs, perform a small partial water change with properly treated water to dilute the concentration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, always treat new tap water in a separate container before adding it to your aquarium. This product is fully compatible with all freshwater fish and plants. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the chemical formula. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation or contamination. For long-term aquarium stability, use this product in conjunction with NT Labs Filter Starter; while this conditioner keeps the water chemically safe, the starter supports the nitrogen cycle necessary for long-term health.
