how many drops should i add per gallon? thanks

1 gallon needs 2.5 ml which is 50 drops (you can see 2.5ml written on the side). So I counted 50 drops onto a spoon, then poured it into the cap of the bottle. It fit almost exactly. So I would add just under one capful to 1 gallon of water. Measure it yourself the way I did to be sure.

I have a well with hard water. Does this help make the water soft enough for my Betta fish?

Idk if Id trust it, I used this in my Betta bowl and my fish died. I always use the yellow bottle Tetra I think and my fish live for over 3 yrs changing water once a week with the drops.

Is this the only chemical I need to set up a new beta tank?

This is the only thing you'll need to make your tap water fish safe, though I'd recommend getting Seachem prime for a better value! To properly set up your betta tank (which should be 2.5 gallons or larger, 5 gallons prefered) you'll want to cycle it first - give 'aquarium cycling' a Google to understand how that works! There's no one chemical to add, but it's definitely necessary to setting up a new tank! Best of luck with your new betta buddy!

If i use the betta water conditioner, do i also need to get the api water softener pillow to make my hard well water safe?

API water softener makes water soft (removes calcium and magnesium) not hard.

Not good

Used this for about 3 months. Not feasible for a bigger betta tank. Also felt a tingling in my hands when doing water changes (which stopped after I switched to another brand). Not sure if it was because of some of the ingredients in it. But I wouldn’t buy again.
