Superb products.
Superb product. API is one of my resources for many of my aquarium essentials. Never had any problem with any of there items. Great value for money, with many products giving you size options for what you need. All products from medicated to water parameters and plant care. These products are made with an ease of understanding for what that purpose is and will help you on your fish keeping journey.

Great product, great price
Great product and excellent customer service. My first bottle arrived empty, but the seller sorted it out straight away and sent a replacement very quickly with no hassle. Really appreciate how fast the problem was resolved. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely buy from this seller again.

Mixed reviews.
The mixed reviews and its claims have made me worried about using this. However I put a half measure in. I found in some fish products you can have Armageddon so if in doubt don’t use it or use smaller measurements. I have no fish in the tank yet and I’ve been doing test strips. Fish in two weeks and water checks coming to satisfactory so must play some part. I usually use cycle but water tests for both have been good.

Good product!
Got this as a cheaper alternative to the more expensive axolotyl versions and it has been great. Like people have said it is quite small but it is also perfect as you only add a couple of drops each time.

Quick Start aquarium liquid
It is good stuff but wait 4 weeks before putting any fish in your tank. Plants growing very strong.
