Here is a recommended article from the website "Fish as Pets"

EXCERPT:
"What is also noteworthy is that Freshness DOES COUNT, as the main reason to utilize the AAP Wonder Shell, is not to increase your GH by large amounts, which will happen if you follow the directions by Weco (or others), RATHER to provide ESSENTIAL mineral Cations which only a small amount of Wonder Shell is needed if the product is fresh.
While there are many benefits to the AAP Wonder Shell, including adding minerals, and slowly removing chlorine (it is not a replacement for Prime or other dechlorinators during water changes), among others; THE MAIN REASON is for these constantly supplied mineral Cations. Most other benefits can be achieved by a myriad of other products or methods, but the mineral Cations is what makes this product unique.
If you are purchasing clearance product or non authorized product sold via Amazon & other parasite retailers that search engines and social media sadly now brings up ahead of the original full online seller of Wonder Shells, you LIKELY ARE NOT GETTING FRESH PRODUCT. These mineral Cations slowly dissipate just like a battery slowly loses its charge
Instead, I would recommend purchasing from a seller with decades of experience AND the FULL correct/complete information for use such as:
FRESH AAP Wonder Shells, fresh & medicated versions sold ONLY at American Aquarium Products "
