It supplies essential electrolytes that improve fish respiration, reduce stress, and support disease recovery. Ideal for new tank setups, water changes, and treating fish health issues, this trusted formula helps maintain a vibrant, healthy aquatic environment. ## Description Product Description A lack of electrolytes in aquarium freshwater may cause serious health problems for freshwater fish. API AQUARIUM SALT supplies electrolytes to improve fish respiration. Made from evaporated sea water and containing natural active ingredients such as a natural fish tonic, API AQUARIUM SALT promotes the overall health of your fish by improving their gill function and reducing stress in a freshwater aquarium. This all-natural salt provides the essential electrolytes fish need for the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide and ammonia through the gills. API AQUARIUM SALT should only be added to reduce stress during new freshwater aquarium setup and water changes or to promote disease recovery when solving specific fish health issues. Use API AQUARIUM SALT when setting up a new freshwater aquarium, when changing water or treating disease. Make sure to take extra care when using salt with live plants, as some plants may be sensitive. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium.

Ingredients natural fish tonic, API AQUARIUM SALT Directions 1. Dose the appropriate amount of Aquarium Salt in your aquarium based on the number of gallons and the specificity of the gravity of the water. 2. Stir the water to ensure uniform distribution. 3. Wait 24 hours before testing the specificity of gravity again. 4. Repeat the dosage if necessary until the desired severity specificity is achieved. Box Contains 1 x API Freshwater Aquarium Salt 453 g Review: Perfect - Great price for a great item. Ordered shipped and delivered same day! Needed for my fish tank to help with some bloat from pellet food and worked a treat - always does. However remember salt does not break down in the water so the only way to get it out is woth water changes! Review: Reliable for fish health, but use with caution - This API AQUARIUM SALT Freshwater Aquarium Salt 936 G Box is a staple for a reason; it’s excellent for promoting gill function and helping fish recover from stress or minor injuries. The 5-star quality of the salt is evident as it dissolves quickly and consistently without clouding the water. However, for real-life use, it's vital to remember that salt does not evaporate, so you should only add more during water changes based on the volume of water removed to avoid dangerous buildup. While it works wonders for many species, always double-check your specific livestock first, as "scaleless" fish or live plants can be quite sensitive to it. It’s a powerful tool for any hobbyist's kit as long as you measure carefully. ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Causes skin irritation. - May cause respiratory irritation. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
