I have updated the "Aquarium/Pond Answers" article about Water Conditioners. This includes a new reference and further added information Here is a snip from the article: "As noted, most aquarium/pond water conditioners use sulfates such as sodium thiosulfate. Thiosulfate is a Redox reducing agent. It is routinely used as a titrant to determine concentrations of oxidants such as hypochlorite in bleach and dissolved oxygen in water. It INSTANTLY dechlorinates water via this Redox reaction (producing new compounds including H2O), it does NOT alter the chlorine as is done in changing ammonia ions (NH3) to non toxic ammonium (NH4)"Reference: www.aquarium-pond-answers.com/2007/04/aquarium-water-conditioners.htmlCarl

I have updated the Aquarium/Pond Answers article about aquarium water conditioners. www.aquarium-pond-answers.com/2007/04/aquarium-water-conditioners.htmlHere is an excerpt from the section about Res-Q: "AAP/Aquatronics Res-Q is an excellent choice for a water conditioner when fish have frayed fins or have visible abuse. AAP Res-Q is a most effective product with seven way action; RES-Q detoxifies and conditions water by polymeric complexing (bonding) of metallic ions. REs-Q then coats the fish with a slippery medicated bandage of Quinine Hydrochloride, Sulfamethazine, n Alkyl dimethly Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, & Propyl Paraben. Res-Q also balances osmotic processes, removes chlorine, clarifies water and aids in safe shipment of fish. Res-Q does not color the water with its use.
Great when used in conjunction of a Medicated Wonder Shell
The key ingredients that separate Res-Q from all other water conditioners are: -Quinine Hydrochloride; An anti external parasitic (including Ich) -Sulfamethazine; An anti microbial (think Triple Sulfa) -n Alkyl dimethly Benzyl Ammonium Chloride; A phase-transfer catalysis, an important technology in the synthesis of anti-microbials which allows the other medications to better adhere to the fish epidermis
USE: Used in lieu of other water conditioners if medication on the fish is indicated such as after injury or introduction of new fish. As well squirting Res-Q directly on a fish after a medicated bath or when introducing to the aquarium is another recommended use for this water conditioner"Carl
