Question:	How long is the cord going to the heater from the controller
Answer:	Dear Jordan woodruff, the length of the wire from the heater to the controller is 63in, and the total length is 95in. I hope my answer can help you.
Question:	Can this heat a 300 gallon pond
Answer:	Hello, the aquarium heater is recommended for indoor use only. We mainly consider from the following two aspects. First, the use of heaters outdoors is greatly affected by changes in ambient temperature, because the outdoor temperature may be below zero and the heating effect is not ideal, and the number of heaters used will be more than indoors. Second, the safety of electricity during use, if it is installed by non-professionals, leakage problems may occur. I hope you will consider our suggestions carefully. In addition, please pay attention to the installation method, and do not insert the heater in the mud; in the process of using the heater, in order to make the temperature of the fish pond even, be sure to use it in conjunction with the circulating water pump. Hope my answer can help you, thank you for your question.
Question:	how long will it take to heat 160 gallons starting from 50 degrees
Answer:	Hi Radfischer, the heating time is not only related to fish tank capacity and heater wattage, but also related to ambient temperature and water circulation. Assuming that the ambient temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, using our 1200w heater to heat from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 82 degrees Fahrenheit, it takes about 8-13 hours according to our experiment.

User questions & answers

Question:	The Re-Fresh says it maybe harmful to snails and shrimp, has anyone had any problems with them
Answer:	I don’t know the caffeine amount, but black tea is the third ingredient, so I would assume that this drink has a fair amount of caffeine. It also has 20 grams of sugar, which is pretty high. This company makes lots of drinks with green tea, and much less sugar, which might be a better choice for you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this test for ammonia? they only list what it tests for abbreviations (gh, no2, etc.) but not what they stand for i can’t tell
Answer:	These are covered in fabric, just in having used the rubber bands as well these are much more strong and less stretchy than rubber bands, they have a stripping inside as well to help prevent the slipping.
Question:	What is the range of the ph test
Answer:	It's smaller then you think. We have a small 1 or two gallon tank and it fits great!!
Question:	Is this for saltwater with corals
Answer:	Thanks for your question. It may be best to save this ornament for your larger tank. It would be a very tight fit in a .7 gallon and it would restrict the amount of space your fish has to swim.
Question:	Is this for fresh water aquarium
Answer:	Fit? Yes. But it would be awfully cramped.

User questions & answers

Question:	There's no picture of the instructions. How much do you need to condition per gallon of water
Answer:	I have only used them in rubbermaid tanks. They are designed for them because of the thread design.
Question:	Is this the only chemical I need to set up a new beta tank
Answer:	I have had several of these & they should have the rubber washer. It seals the hole and keeps it from leaking. Call the manufacturer they should send them to you.
Question:	Is betta fix the same as meta fix
Answer:	If you have a Rubbermaid tank, there is a hole at the bottom of the tank that is used for this heater. Simply run the cord through the hole and use the plastic nut and gaskets to secure to the heater. Really a simple install with a Rubbermaid tank. If using another brand of tank, you will have to cut a hole in the tank the size of the treads on the heater. It willl then install easily! Good luck !!

Feed Your Fish Daily

Feed your fish twice daily with API Fish Food which contains nutritionally enhanced proteins, allowing for easy uptake of nutrients and maximum absorption, resulting in less excrement for clear, clean water. Take time to observe fish to ensure they are active & healthy and be sure to check water temperature.

Test Water Quality Weekly

An aquarium is a closed environment and in order for fish to thrive, water must be similar to that which could be found in their natural environment. Poor water quality can cause fish stress, illness and even loss. The 5 common water quality parameters are Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH - all of which may vary over time and all are invisible to the eye which is why it is important to test weekly with API MASTER TEST KITS or API 5-IN-1 TEST STRIPS. It is also a good time to add API STRESS ZYME to keep your aquarium & gravel clean.

Change 25% Water Every 2 Weeks

In a closed aquarium environment there are no natural rivers or streams to carry away debris and other waste materials. It is important to renew 25% of the aquarium water every two weeks. When you change the water, it is important to know that tap water contains chemicals that make it safe for us to drink but harmful for fish, therefore add a water conditioner such as API STRESS COAT.

Restore Your Ecosystem Monthly

It is important to change your filter media & clean gravel monthly, however in doing so it can disrupt the fragile ecosystem of your aquarium. Use API QUICK START to strengthen it with ‘beneficial’ nitrifying bacteria that will naturally consume toxic compounds and help prevent fish stress. Also recommended when starting a new aquarium or changing the water.

Product description

Most water problems are invisible to the eye. Quickly measure and modify the six aquarium levels that are most important to the health of your freshwater fish with the API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT. To stay healthy and thrive, fish need properly balanced levels of ammonia, pH, high range pH, nitrite and nitrate. These levels can change rapidly and create harmful conditions when fish waste, uneaten food or other organic matter accumulate, or when untreated water is added. If left uncorrected, all of these can be harmful or even fatal to fish, with consequences such as reduction of oxygen, increase in stress and higher risk of disease. The API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT measures these six parameters with scientific accuracy and provides professional results. It comes with four glass test tubes, a holding tray, test tube rack and computer calibrated, laminated color card. Just fill the test tubes, add the test drops and compare results to the color card. Then follow the recommendations on the card if action is required. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can any of these tests be used for both saltwater and freshwater? I noticed a lot of the individually packaged tests say they can be used for both
Answer:	Api ammonia, nitrite and nitrate test kits can be used for both salt and fresh water aquariums, the liquid solutions are the same for salt and fresh. BUT the color cards that you use to compare your test to are slightly different. I have both fresh water and marine. The first time I bought these kits, I bought for saltwater and freshwater and never threw away the color cards. Now it doesn't matter if I get freshwater or saltwater test kits because I have both freshwater and saltwater cards.
Question:	Would this kit be a good one for my planted aquarium
Answer:	Yes, this is a good general water testing kit, unless you have plants that are very sensitive to water hardness. This kit does NOT include a water-hardness tester.
Question:	I'm a newbie. I have a betta in 10G tank and I'm told that I need to test the water always.Not sure if I should get this or get cheaper ones instead
Answer:	Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.
Question:	How many tests can be run with this kit
Answer:	About 120. Problem is that if you use the full set of products daily you will quickly run out of the ammonia test and the Nitrates tests (each with 2 bottles) because they take 8-10 drops each, compared to the Ph test which only takes 3 drops. I mainly test ammonia and nitrites so I've had to buy separate ammonia kits twice now because I ran out of fluid, while my high range ph bottle is nearly full. Also - Prime, AmGuard and other products convert Ammonia into harmless Ammonium however, it will still read as ammonia on your API kit - so it's basically lying to you. There are kits that will show you active ammonia and harmless ammonium and my API kit reads 8.0 ammonia but the other kit reads it as all harmless ammonium and zero active ammonia. You have do dose your tank with Prime every 48 hours or less to keep the ammonium from converting back to killer ammonia. This will keep happening until your tank finally converts the ammonium to nitrites. My 2 of my 4 well-cycled tanks somehow lost their cycling so that's not happening for those tanks yet.

Product description

pH is the measure of acidity of water, on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. A pH of 0 is the most acidic, while a pH of 14 is the most alkaline. Water with a pH of 7.0 is considered "neutral". Different geographies have different tap water conditions with different pH levels, while fish require a specific pH level to thrive. API Proper pH 7.0 Freshwater Aquarium pH Stabilizer automatically sets and stabilizes the pH level in freshwater aquariums to 7.0 which is perfect for a mixed variety of tropical freshwater fish. API PROPER pH 7.0 Freshwater Aquarium pH Stabilizer also removes toxic compounds from tap water such as chlorine, neutralizes chloramines, detoxifies heavy metals, and adds electrolytes, making tap water safe for fish. Use this aquarium treatment when setting up a new aquarium, adjusting pH, or changing water. pH in an aquarium can fluctuate due to fish waste, uneaten food and addition of tap water. It is recommended to test water for pH weekly. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this with all kinds fresh water fish
Answer:	No. Use this only with fish that should have a ph of 7.5. You can kill fish if that is not an appropriate ph for your fish.
Question:	Will this raise a ph under 7..??..thanks
Answer:	Yes, but you'd better take it slow or you'll kill your fish. I would would use proper ph 7.0 first, buffer near 7.0, then use a combo of 7.0 and 7.5 to slowly raise the ph.
Question:	The label say no to use with live plants, have any of you try it with live plant, if so did you have any problem with the plants
Answer:	If you have to use it regularly it will kill your plants.
Question:	Mine did not come with a scoop or a seal. Should I be concerned about the lack of seal? If not, how much does the scoop hold
Answer:	Mine came without a seal too. I stuck an unused chop stick in the container and found the scoop was in there at least. So I dumped some out on a paper plate and retrieved the scoop. Next time I buy this I will open it at the pet store to make sure there is a seal though!!

Feed Your Fish Daily

Feed your fish twice daily with API Fish Food which contains nutritionally enhanced proteins, allowing for easy uptake of nutrients and maximum absorption, resulting in less excrement for clear, clean water. Take time to observe fish to ensure they are active & healthy and be sure to check water temperature.

Test Water Quality Weekly

An aquarium is a closed environment and in order for fish to thrive, water must be similar to that which could be found in their natural environment. Poor water quality can cause fish stress, illness and even loss. The 5 common water quality parameters are Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH - all of which may vary over time and all are invisible to the eye which is why it is important to test weekly with API MASTER TEST KITS or API 5-IN-1 TEST STRIPS. It is also a good time to add API STRESS ZYME to keep your aquarium & gravel clean.

Change 25% Water Every 2 Weeks

In a closed aquarium environment there are no natural rivers or streams to carry away debris and other waste materials. It is important to renew 25% of the aquarium water every two weeks. When you change the water, it is important to know that tap water contains chemicals that make it safe for us to drink but harmful for fish, therefore add a water conditioner such as API STRESS COAT.

Restore Your Ecosystem Monthly

It is important to change your filter media & clean gravel monthly, however in doing so it can disrupt the fragile ecosystem of your aquarium. Use API QUICK START to strengthen it with ‘beneficial’ nitrifying bacteria that will naturally consume toxic compounds and help prevent fish stress. Also recommended when starting a new aquarium or changing the water.
