Does anyone know if it is ok to use Aquasafe with BioExtract (Tetra) to condition water for Cresteds and fire-bellied toads?

Can I use EasyBalance with Nitraban (Tetra) for the toads pool?

I'm sure there are better products out there for conditioning water, but I already have both products for my fish. Professional advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

i dont really know because its made for fish but i foud this when i searched it
"Short Description:
AquaSafe's new and improved one-step formula is simple and easy to use and delivers maximum effectiveness. AquaSafe is the fastest-acting, most complete water conditioner available. The new formula neutralizes chlorine and heavy metals, removes chloramine and toxic ammonia and provides a slime coat to heal and protect fish. It treats water with effectiveness and your fish with care. AquaSafe's slime coat is the only one that increases fish tolerance to environmental stress, moderates toxic influences, protects fish from abrasions, heals wounds and protects fish against aggressive fresh tap water. AquaSafe is the fastest acting water conditioner because only AquaSafe uses sodium hydroxymethane sulfonate as a reducing agent to remove chlorine and chloramine--proven to be the fastest acting ingredient."

We use it at the pet store I work at-- it's seems really effective and all the reptiles and amphibians are pretty healthy, so it does work up to some extent, but I think that as long as you just use distilled water or really good tap water, it's probably cheaper and about as good.

I personally wouldn't trust it with my geckos lives.  I would go with the stuff made for reptiles.

i def would not use the easy balance as you should be changing the toads water frequetly and the easy balance is mainly to keep down nitrates and nitrites in fish tanks since you never change all of the water out and they are nomally trapped in the gravel bed
