You need to add dechlorinator each time you do a water change. Make sure you cycle your tank before adding any fish, or use BioSpira or Stability. Other than that, I don't add anything to mine and my fish are very healthy and happy.

just something to remove cholrine and minerials.once in a while add a little aquarium salt for freshwater fish.also go with an over the side filter,in tank filters suck and promote disease.my wife raises fish for a leading wholesaler.it's getting hard to keep up with the demand because lots of stores are turning to her because of her record for heathy fish.also remember they do not need to have the filter material in at all times.you can remove it for periods to al;low more free flowing through the pump itself.

If your setting up a fresh water tank you will need water ager which takes out chlorine and other unwanted specs,also you have to get yourself a ph test kit which measures the alkalinity and acidity.

well you dont really need to just sit the water out in an open container for at least 24 hours and the chemicals should leave in the form of gas

nah, not really. Before changing the water let the new water age in a bucket for for 2 days.
