water changes

When i do a water change , should i always add de-chlor .. or is it not necessary?

 

[dmopar74]

always, otherwise there is no way the chlorine will dissapear

Always, with small water changes the chlorine may dissapate in time but the chloramine can build up, not only can it damage the gills of your fish it can kill off the BB in your filter.

yeah but if u dont change ur carbon regularly it will start to leach back into the water
