[Hound]

[CaptnDan]

Guess I get to be the first to say "none".

[Red Tailed Wonder]

[CaptnDan]

what?

I don't hasve to use a de-chlor because the water coming outof the tap isn't chlorinated.

[Red Tailed Wonder]

[gagaliya]

Bio-Coat does is not a dechlorinator.

[mostlycichlids]

Bio-Coat does is not a dechlorinator.
Yes it is it removes chlorine and chloramines

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Shake well before use. 1 teaspoon (5ml) treats 10 gallons. One teaspoon will remove 4.0 ppm of chlorine and 6.0 ppm of chloramines in 10 gallons of water. The dosage of BIO-Coat™ can be increased or repeated without harm to fish and plants

[CaitxSith]

Stress coat and any other product they made :p:

[WrittenLyric]

I recently switched from Tetra to Stress Coat.. I think I'm gonna switch to Prime soon though. I've heard so many good things about it.

My bad...I did not realize this as they suggest to use it with Bio-Safe.

[mostlycichlids]

no problem just wanted to clear it up.

[fballguy]

Whatever is cheapest when I go to the store to get some.

Same here i just came back from the lfs and picked up a bottle of prime. I had always used stress coat and never really had any problems but i'll give prime a shot since so many people like it.

It's actually a happy side effect of a very expensive water purification system that treats the whole house.

[H3D]

:duh: I'll admit when I'm wrong, and this time I was wrong.

[rosita]

Prime and Amquel Plus, more to overcautious as I have great well water. Def at school with new tank in classroom. Go back and forth between them; always have liked having choices.

[Star_Rider]

Prime..i did the math and it's the cheap, especially when you find it on sale.

[vanimate]

I love the smell of prime on my fingers

[svtcontour]

I use the Big Al's brand

[blue_soda025]

I use the stuff by Hagen. I think it's called Aqua Plus.. or Aqua something.

[icecubez189]

I love the smell of prime on my fingers

I prefer the smell of Flourish, which is like a bowl of soggy wheat based cereal but some people don't agree. Anyways, both products from Seachem work very well.

[misopeenut]

im gonna be the first to one say i use nothing, no filter straight tap
:)

Oh :D

[mtiller]

i use wardley aquaclear, splendid betta water conditioner, and i used reptisafe for my aquatic reptiles.

[cyberbeer65]

Prime.

[neonmadness]

noone else uses amquel?

[joelfish]

Doesn't anyone use good old sodium thiosulfate? This is the active ingredient in all of these commercial dechlorinators that people are using.

1 lb for $3.25 - mix with 1 gal of water and you've got your dechlorinator! 1 drop will treat 1 gal of H20 for most people's water. That's a lot of dechlor!

Also, I often age my water in a drum for 24 hrs (just aerate with an airstone) to let the chlorine off-gas on it's own. In this case, you need *no* dechlor. at all and the water is super stable for fish like discus and rams.

Also, if you have chloramines, continue to use prime as those are different than just chlorine.

[corykid]

i use genesis really do not know why i just always have for some reason

[cweg71]

noone else uses amquel?


I use Amquel+ because my tap is treated with chloramines.

[Toirtis]

Prime or Safe (which is powdered Prime)

[Swiftwind]

I use Safe by Seachem.

[Marinemom]

I have used a number of products over the years such as stress coat and amquel plus. Now I use Prime and I like it the best. The LFS where I work does not carry this product though. I guess I got some more educating to do.

Marinemom

[boofish2]

API Super Strength conditioner.

[quadpants]

Prime, before that some Aqua-Safe until I realized they were the same price but you use 1/4 the amount of Prime for the same water.

[Zastrus]

How much does a bottle of prime cost? I don't even remember how much I paid for my Tetra dechlor, or even if my LFS carries it. The guy at the LFS just handed me the Tetra dechlor. But he's very knowledgeable, I asume. He stopped me from buying a bala shark for my 10g. :cool:

[ausername]

I use aqua plus by Nutrafin

[JoeRags3]

None

[Dixon]

haloex for me its very good and the best out of the 5 or so i have used.

[quadpants]

I posted Aqua-Safe but it was actually Aqua-Plus I was using. They are within a buck or two at Petsmart but 1 capful of Prime treats 50 gallons and 1 capful of Aqua-Plus treats 10 gallons.
