4. Seachem Stability Fish Tank Stabilizer - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums, 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
TANK STABILIZATION: Seachem Stability will rapidly and safely establish the aquarium biofilter in freshwater and marine systems, thereby preventing the #1 cause of fish death: "new tank syndrome".
TREATMENT: Stability is formulated specifically for the aquarium and contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria which facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
BACTERIA GROWTH: The necessary conditions for the growth of Stability's bacteria strains encompass a very broad range. When other bacteria begin to die off (usually from high organic loads caused by the unknown death of an organism), Stability simply becomes more effective.
USE: Shake Seachem Stability well before use and turn off UV/ozone filter. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons) on the first day with a new aquarium. Then use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 US gallons) daily for 7 days. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as dosage is maintained for 7 days.
SAFE: The bacteria employed by Stability are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Stability is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms as well as aquatic plants, thus there is no danger of overuse.

32. SunGrow Aquarium Salt for Betta Fish, Aids in Reduction of Stress Level and Improves Color, Supports Gill and Kidney Functions, 16-Ounce
Supplies Essential Water Electrolytes --- To reach the peak coloration and vitality of bettas, they need the right amount of electrolytes. Each time you do a partial aquarium water change, these electrolytes may be lost. You can replenish them by adding the SunGrow Aquarium Salt to help maintain a proper fluid-electrolyte balance in the fish’s body fluids.
Supports Kidney Functions --- Fish kidneys work lesser when you add aquarium salt to the water. The amount of water absorbed in the blood will be reduced and gives less pressure to the kidneys as one of its major tasks is to remove water from the body.
Improves Mucus-Like Covering Production --- Another benefit of aquarium salt is that it enhances the fish ability to produce a mucus-like coat. This protective layer is very helpful during fish rehabilitation when it experiences an injury, torn or bitten fins and even fin rot.
Assists In Fish Health Recovery --- Aquarium Salt also boosts the fish body defenses and wound recovery. It assists in their total well-being making them live longer with the best health and behavior.
Helps Reduce Betta’s Stress Level --- Bettas are known to be sensitive fish and their tantrums are as shiny as their colors. Any sudden atmospheric changes can make them irritated and stressed. Adding Aquarium Salt for Betta by SunGrow in their aquarium helps recreate a familiar environment for them. It also aids in lowering down their stress level by improving the gill function resulting in better respiration.
