Water conditioner

[joevc1]

A friend of mine is getting out of the hobby and gave me some leftover supplies. I use Prime, Baking Soda and Epsom Salt as water additives so I don’t have any experience with the following.

Tetra Aquasafe with BioExtract,
Tetra Aquasafe Plus,
Tetra Easy Balance with Nitraban;
Proquatics bacteria starter
Kent Cichlid Essential
Kent cichlid Buffer
Topfin Conditioning Salt

Anyone have any experience with these, Is any of this better than what I’m using now or even necessary?

You could use the kent buffer and trace elements in place of your homemade buffer recipe, but there's nothing wrong with the way your already doing it.

I have used all of those Tetra products...all very good IMO.
I have also used the Kent products and liked these as well.

Good news, I have four 16 oz. Tetra Aquasafe with BioExtract and two 8 oz. Tetra Aquasafe Plus bottles.
