DESCRIPTION SECTION
Electrolytes are essential for the uptake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide and ammonia through the gills. A lack of electrolytes may cause serious health problems. API AQUARIUM SALT, made from evaporated sea water, provides these essential electrolytes.
BENEFITS:
Provides essential electrolytes freshwater fish need to reach peak coloration and vitality.
Improves gill function, reduces stress, facilitates osmoregulation and promotes disease recovery.
INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION
WHEN TO USE:
Use when setting up a freshwater aquarium or fish bowl, changing water and treating fish disease.
DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION
DIRECTIONS:
Add 1 rounded tablespoon for every 5 U.S. gallons (20 L) or 1/2 rounded teaspoon for every U.S. (4 L) of aquarium water.
USER SAFETY WARNINGS SECTION
NOTES:
Aquarium salt does not evaporate and is not filtered out, so it should only be added with each water change.
Care should be taken when using salt with live plants, as some plants may be sensitive.
Treats up to 107 U.S. Gallons (404 L) of fresh water.
