Expert Recommendation from Something Fishy
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is adding untreated tap water directly to an aquarium.
Even clear-looking tap water may contain chlorine or chloramines that are invisible but harmful to aquatic life.
At Something Fishy, we recommend treating every drop of tap water before it enters the aquarium. A water conditioner is one of the most basic yet most important products every fish keeper should own.
