Is Tetraponds Aquasafe Safe To Use In An Aquarium?

[Bobtastic]

Hi all,

I've been looking around at the prices of dechlorinators and I'm sure I heard somewhere that pond and aquarium dechlorinators do the same thing. So is it safe to use the pond stuff in your aquarium?

If it is I could save a fair bit of money as the pond stuff seems to do more water per volume!

Thanks in advance!

Same thing, just more concentrated. It also seems to be very hard to overdose dechlorinator, overdoing it (within reason) doesn't matter.

So get the pond dechlorinator unless you have a very small tank. It's generally about the same price as the watered down stuff, and lasts much longer.

I was about to ask this. Someone here recommended I get the pond dechlor, and the guy at MA said they now recommend to avoid it, but on deeper probing it was because someone said he used it in his tropical tank and some of his fish died, and they had a big hoo-haa. I can only assume he either chucked the whole bottle in a small tank or his fish died for other reasons.

I ended up just getting some Seachem Prime concentrated conditioner. As 5ml of the conditioner will do 200litres! in comparison to the Tetra AquaSafe where 5ml would only do 10litres. Seemed to make sense to me!

bob, I use the tetrapond aquasafe and its great. Cost me about £14 for a 1L bottle on ebay and only takes 6/7ml to treat my whole 125L tank so it will last forever

In hindsight calculating the correct amount of Seachem Prime to use in my tank my be a little trouble some... But it's a trail at the end of the day and I don't think u can over use the stuff.
