No. API’s Tap Water Conditioner still works with Chloramine, it’s just not as efficient. For Chlorine, the dosage is 1ml per 20G. For Chloramine, the dosage is 1ml per 5G, so the 16 oz. would only treat around 2,400G instead of 9,600G with Chlorine. Still, a bottle would last you over […]

[AquaticLife] Water testing with crushed coral

I have my GH and KH testing from my tap, but I didn’t do them with a baseline test, I assume that as the water sits the GH and KH will be used up slowly and the pH drops? Am I correct?

HELP! I think I have White Spot)

Dora,
You know better than to hijack a thread. LOL
Yes, for labyrinth fish, I’ve written many times that you should not use full dosing of Melafix or Pimafix for them. A 50% dose seems to work OK for them so do PWC’s as needed to dilute the initial dosage down to 50% and then only […]

It’s not good to constantly overdose the dechlor. Your tank will eventually build up a very high level of the dechlor chemicals (usually Sodium Thiosulfate and EDTA). For example, lets use 1 capful and a 10G tank for simplicity.
If you fill the tank to start with so it has 10G of water and […]
