Are you testing your water parameters?Do you have a test kit?
I personally wouldn't trust that Interpet Bioactive tap safe plus.
First red flags for me adds beneficial bacteria and Aloe Vera.
I personally don't trust beneficial bacteria in a bottle.
That is what I was concerned about. That aloe vera thing had me a little uneasy lol.
Never heard of that brand, or adding aloe vera, but the most important part of the conditioner is the dechlorinater, everything else is just trying to sell you more than you need. If you do your water change by buckets, then you only dose the amount of water in the bucket(maybe 15 to 20l volume) before adding it back to the tank. If you add tap water directly to the tank maybe with a hose, then you need to dose the amount of the whole tank (300l)
The beneficial bacteria, if it works, is only really useful when starting from scratch, but your old tank has been running awhile and should be fully cycled, a test for nitrite and nitrate should confirm this. Use your old filter, or at least media from it in your new tank and you will get the beneficial bacteria you need already.

Yes I do test the water..always have .that was something I learned early but am not 100% sure on that..so sometime it say between 05 nitrate ppm..0 nitriteppm 0 chloroneppm..usually 150-300 total hardness ppmcarbonste120-180 pH 7.6-8.0..I mean the fish are looking real healthy..I'm so glad I was advised on here to get a bigger tank because my ray(yellow lab) he's had a growth spurt even since going into the 300l..well they all have but he's just been growing n growing.lol..I remember saying when I brought him I want the little yellow one with yhe black stripe...lol
