Hikari Ultimate Complete Water Conditioner 1gal

Product details

Hikari Ultimate Complete Water Conditioner 1gal (72238) is a full-function water conditioner for freshwater, marine, and pond use that helps dechlorinate and dechloraminate tap water and detoxify harmful water-quality compounds. In practical use, it’s added to new or tank-refreshed water to help neutralize toxic chloramine, ammonia, chlorine, heavy metals, and nitrite, supporting a safer environment for aquatic pets while also “aging” new water so animals can be introduced more quickly.
