Did it ever cause problems?

The only thing and I have no proof of this is an API test kit always seems to show slight ammonia if you use Prime in the water.

Amquel plus. Using tap can be risky proposition.

API has been in the fish care business for years, so they know how to take care of my beloved pet fish. Their water conditioner is one of the best in the industry. It is highly concentrated and will start working immediately. It can condition a huge amount of tap water in just minutes.

I love their Stress Coat conditioner, though after being combined with tap water in my mixing buckets, it does produce a small amount of “slime” on their inner linings.
