An experiment has started…
Well it arrived today! 12 gallon tank, can not overdose, I added what it says for 20 gallon.
I also own Dr. Tim, aka tinyfish, aka that masked man, another thank-you. Not only did he send a bigger bottle than I purchased, but he also sent along his stress relief that is a declor & cloramine, heavy metal remover, adds buffers, vitamins, immune support, and slime coat revitalizer. Sounds like liquid prevention. I am certainly going to use it!
