In all my years of cruising homebrew forums and reading books on home brewing, I have never seen where aquarium tank water treatment products are used for preparing homebrew water.
Seems like a natural. Tropical fish can be very sensitive, so I assume this treatment is effective and non-toxic. The big concern for brewing water treatment is removing chlorine/chloramine. That is what the aquarium products do. I assume quite effectively. Reading the labels and instructions, I do not pick up on anything detrimental to brewing.
Yes, Yes, Yes. . . . . I know about campden tablets and have been using them for years. But still. . . . . .
Just out of curiosity, do the aquarium water treatment products do things to the water that are good for fish but bad for beer? The cost per brew day is pretty minimal.
So why not use an aquarium chlorine/chloramine product on brew day? If you are so inclined.
