The Science

Tap water is treated with chlorine or chloramine to make it suitable for human consumption, but these chemicals are harmful to fish, invertebrates, and the beneficial bacteria that sustain a healthy biofilter. Safe™ neutralises these compounds on contact, making tap water safe to use immediately. It also contains a binder that renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to process and remove them naturally. This makes Safe™ particularly valuable during tank cycling, when ammonia and nitrite spikes are common.

The dry format distinguishes Safe™ from most water conditioners on the market. By removing the water that makes up the bulk of liquid conditioners, only the active compounds remain, resulting in an extremely concentrated product. Safe™ treats significantly more water per gram, requires far less storage space, and maintains its efficacy over a much longer shelf life. For fishkeepers managing large systems, multiple tanks, or high-volume water changes, it represents a highly practical and cost-effective solution.

Advice

Safe™ may be added directly to the aquarium, but is most effective when dissolved into new water before it enters the tank. Use ¼ teaspoon (1.25 g) per 1,250 L for chlorine and chloramine removal, or per 300 L when targeting ammonia detoxification. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, up to 4 times the normal dose may be used. If water temperature exceeds 30°C and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, reduce to a half dose.

Heads-up

Safe™ detoxifies ammonia and nitrite but is not a substitute for a functioning biofilter or regular water changes. It is best used as part of a complete and consistent maintenance routine.
