[AquaticLife] Re:Tetra’s Monthly Aquarium Maintenance advice???
I actually have a bottle of the API tap water conditioner. But why one would want to use it. In this place where ammonia is .5 ppm out of the tap, I seem to use three to four times as much Prime to get the ammonia as to get the chloramines.
Chloramines break down into chlorine and ammonia, so your water conditioner needs to remove the ammonia that is created when it breaks down the chloramines.
The API tap water conditioner bottle explicitly says that if you use it for chloramines you have to use another product to get the ammonia - they recommend their own AMmolock or whatever.
Prime and Amquel will get the ammonia as well as the chlorine and chloramine.
