I was told to use this product instead of Tetra EasyBalance. I have also used ACE, and Stress Coat. If this product does what it says, it eliminates chlorine, chloramine, and ammonia, and neutralizes nitrite and nitrate. This makes it a far superior water conditioner compared to the above products. Most water conditioners only eliminate chlorine and chloramines, and some also take care of ammonia. This product is also about the same price, but you use much smaller amounts making it cheaper than those other products! I was told about this product on this site, and I am so satisfied I had to share it with you, my fellow fish freak.
