I added HCl to an empty tank to crash the ph and kh levels. As a result, I probably have tons of chloride ions. I've read on the net that chloride ions are actually good for the fish in reducing toxity of ammonia and nitrites. However, how much chloride is not good for the fish? Plus, how will this effect the plant growth?
I do on plan making 25% water changes every week for the first 5 weeks to reduce the Cl- ion concentration, but I need some assurance that it's okay to start cycling this tank as is.
