If you use a Python Water Change system, then I have a question for you..

[mr.bigglesworth]

Ok, but something is still not sitting right with me. If I use a python and pour and amount of de-cholr in the tank before I re-fill, everything should be ok, even if I just treat for the, oh, say for example 20, 30 gallons I take out and not the whole tank.

Just doesn't sound right. But is it? There is NO WAY im treating the whole tank on each water change, no way. Would that exclude me from using a python?

Dosing the whole tank allows the chloramines to be neutralized faster. If you have extremely sensitive species or fish on there deathbed you best dose for the whole tank.

Dose the whole tank? No way, no way. I'm not made of money dude!

Maybe i'll just use the python as a drain, and refill using the buckets.

You dont have to be made of money. Google seachem safe. 1 purchase and you will have so much dechlor you wont know what to do with it. It would take me over 200 years to go through all of this dechlor.

So I shouldn't be wary of it then? How do you know its mixed? Do you shut off your filters during?

By the way Gill Blue, is your avatar photoshoped? If not,what kind of sunfish is that?

Just buy seachem safe. Seachem safe is bulk prime in a powderous form. Prime is just overpriced, dilluted safe. A 40$ safe purchase is enough for your entire lifes-worth of water changes. It can treat over 1 million gallons of water.

Never used sachem safe

How much do you get for 40$? I might try it

How does your beneficial bacteria live then?

With me, I can sometimes smell the chlorine as it comes out of the tap..

as long as you dont clean your filter pads, take out the substrate and the decorations at the same time...it will be ok.


now if you do a huge water change and take out all the stuff....your fish will be gasping at the surface.
