Anybody else here who uses only de-chlorinator and nothing else?

[arkmann]

I'm wondering who else here in the boards uses nothing else but a de-chlorinator in their tanks?

I've been keeping fish for a little over two years and the only thing that I have used in my tanks is the green generic de-chlorinator that you can buy for cheap in the lfs.

I haven't had a lot of fish death's (knock on wood) except two datnoids that had the sudden death syndrome.

Coupled with weekly 50-60% water changes, all my fish have been fat and healthy. That and 4 filters on my 100 gallon tank...

Anyone else here who hasn't used much "chemicals" in their tanks? Share your experiences.

I only use PRIME and see no reason to use produts with aloe vera or that products that induce slimecoat production (they work by irratating the skin)-Anne

I've used a bunch of different stuff. Right now I am back on Prime.

I use prime because it's cost effective, not because it's said to eliminate like a million other things. I've been thinking about switching to sodium thiosulfate though.

prime is the best value I've seen. It says it does lots of other cool stuff, I don't really care if it does though.

I used to use Kordon Amquel Plus and Kordon Novaqua Plus...but then I switched to Prime and never looked back.
