How tablet-based treatments help

Tablets deliver a consistent dose of oxygen release and supportive compounds that reduce hydrogen sulfide (the classic rotten-egg smell) and stabilize your tank’s bacterial ecosystem. They’re tidy, quick to use, and pair well with good habits like water moderation and avoiding antibacterial dumps down the drain.
