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.
