Clairet Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 When we first started our tank off about 6 weeks ago the pet shop sold us some Nutrafin Cycle & Nutrafin Aqua plus and said we need to use it every water change. Do we or are they just trying to sell us more stuff? I have been using it but the bottle of Cycle is just about out and wondering if I need to buy more or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else is usually a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Our water is not chlorinated either and I have never added anything to my tank water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Christchurch does not normally chlorinate the water either but with all the shakes going on and repairs to water mains they are required to sanitise the pipework after repairs so some here are using dechlorinaters. If you have no chlorine you will have no need for additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
