Aquarium water treatments in Ningi, tested first

Good water is the difference between fish that thrive and fish that struggle. We keep water conditioners to make tap water safe, bacteria starters for new and freshly cleaned tanks, plant food, and treatments for common problems. Before you buy a treatment, bring in a water sample. We’ll test it for free while you’re here, explain the results and help you choose what your tank actually needs, which is sometimes nothing more than a water change.

Getting the water right

Most water problems are easier to prevent than to fix. These are the basics we cover at the counter.

Condition every water change

Tap water carries chlorine and chloramine, which harm fish and the good bacteria in your filter. Treat new water with a conditioner every time you top up or change it.

Look after the bacteria

Beneficial bacteria break down fish waste. A bacteria starter helps a new tank cycle and helps after a filter clean. Rinse filter media in old tank water, not tap water, so you don’t wash the bacteria away.

Not sure what's wrong?

Bring in a water sample. We'll test it for free and tell you what's going on.

Test before you treat

Cloudy water, algae or unwell fish can have several causes, and the wrong treatment can make things worse. A water test shows what’s happening with ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH, so you treat the actual problem. Our free water testing runs during opening hours, no appointment needed.

Ring ahead. We'll put it aside.

Call the store, tell us what your tank needs and we'll have it ready at the counter, subject to stock availability.
