Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an excellent additive for freshwater aquariums. It keeps PH at 7.0, reduces Nitrates that can usually only be removed via water changes, and removes phosphate which encourages algae growth. It also produces CO2 which is helpful for the growth of aquatic plants. However it is important that you have proper water aeration when using this chemical additive because of these CO2 producing properties. Another major thing is that this product does NOT remove chlorine or chloramines from water when performing water changes. Also it is important to note that by using this product it does not excuse you from not having to perform water changes. You still should change 15-20% of the water in the tank every 2-3 weeks depending on how many fish are stocked in the tank relative to its size.From Tetra's Site:
Easy Balance® - Detailed Description of Individual Product Features
Carbonate Hardness Additive - The appropriate amount of carbonate hardness is added to the aquarium water compensating for KH losses, which occur as a result of nitrification.
pH Stabilization - Stabilizes the pH value on a sufficiently high level, preventing a drop to biologically harmful levels (pH crash) and produces a certain amount of CO2 preventing excessive pH values.
Phosphate Removing Effect - In a standard aquarium (30gal) the phosphate concentration is reduced to zero during most of the 6-month period.
New Feature: Nitrate Reduction with Nitraban(tm) - Serves as a nutrient for denitrifying bacteria that consume the oxygen releasing nitrogen from the aquarium. On average the nitrate concentration will drop below 40mg/l.
Other Features Include - Production of Carbon Dioxide, the addition of trace elements and a replenishment of vitamin BThis product will cloud the water for a few hours after it is introduced to the tank water. This cloudiness should disappear quickly as long as you have good water filtration and movement. And again make sure you have good water aeration like air stones in the tank as this could cause the fish to not get enough oxygen.
