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

Chemicals = death Just age your water in a open container for a 2 or 3 days and all the clorine goes into the air.

Newbies buy chemicals

I fall into the newbie category. I believe in your definition johnPTC does too

I use dechlor on large water changes. I use carbon inline filters for small water changes (drip system).

I just had a bad exp with chemicals maybe 5 years ago on a Reef tank where all my inverts died. Now i only top off the Reef tanks with water from my freshwater tanks and top off the Freshwater tanks with aged water from 5 gallon jugs.

What about chloramines? Does aging take care of that as well?

I'll stick with Prime. Room for bulk water storage just doesn't exist in my house

Ya it makes it safe you should give it a try one less thing to buy

in anything but my goldfish tank, havent used anything but prime as far as i remember

oh, i used metro to treat a sick stingray upon arrival, but thats fairly normal for them

Do some research of your own. It might suprise you

Last i remembered reading Chloramines (if you have them) don't go away by aging/aeraiting? Did this change?


Edit: Forgot to add, like Rallysman i use inline carbon on my drip. And if ever i do a large water change i use prime. I also slow drip diluted prime. 12 hours a day.
