Huge tap water conditioner

Post by erikleeson »

Hey guys, I'm sure you all use treated water for your crabs, if not - USE IT NOW YOU ARE KILLING YOUR CRABS!

I recently spent a whopping $12 for one bottle of tap water conditioner, I was skeptical at first, but now I realize its worth every penny.

The bottle is 16 ounces (473 ml), it uses 5 ml for 10 gallons
5 ML FOR 10 GALLONS?

this will last me forever. Literally. Forever.
It treats 3575 litres!
One drop can make me a 4 litre batch of water - one drop can make me a 7 litre batch maybe!
There must be like at least 400 drops in this bottle! Its amazing! Its by Aqua Safe, definitely get it!

I'm kind of skeptical about the whole "coating" thing. Since it's used for fish, most of those "coatings" coat the fish's gills. I'm not sure if that would be the best stuff for hermies to drink. You'll have to get someone else's advice first though. This is just a speculation.

I was thinking the same thing as you Krabby_Katie. I would have to check with a more experienced crabber.

Due to family issues my crabs have been adopted out to wizkidsmom (Cheryl), I know she will care for them like I did. Thanks Cheryl

Mine doesn't say that, this is just a google image. Mine is probably an older version. it says treats and removes chlorine and neutralizes heavy metals.
