    which water conditioner to use?

    ok so i have been using Aqua Star to treat my tap water for years and it seems to no longer be available from Age of Aquariums, and i can't find it anywhere else.

    I've been very happy with it but need something asap as i'm almost out. It's quite strong and has worked very well with me for a long time.

    I'm looking for suggestions on what else to use please.

    Aqua Star claims to
    Aqua Star acts fast. Within Minutes, it neutralizes chlorine, chloramine,
    toxic ammonia and heavy metals, making tap water safe for fish. Adds protective Slime coating.
    Aqua Star can also be used to reduce dangerous ammonia levels in established aquariums or when transporting fish.
    Neutralizes 5ppm chlorine, 2ppm chloramine, 1ppm ammonia.

    I have used Prime before but found aqua star to be better (less fish loss especially when breeding and growing out fry).

    Thanks in advance.

    I also use Prime for my main tank, I don't know if it is the smell but it does seem harsh. I used API Stress Coat+ in the hospital tank with good results, I am considering swapping the main tank to Stress Coat.

    Conditioner

    I use Novaqua for at least 30 + years. It adds a really great slime coat to all my fish.

    I'm currently using Continuim, haven't had any issues from using it so far. I just use it at the recomendded dose rate once a week when doing a water change.
