it doesn't? I was under the assumption the bb breaks it down just like it does ammonia? Then where does all the chlorine in our water go?
um im not trying to up my post count. what the heck was i supposed to look up anyway? it wasnt even late. i dont even look at my post count.
It's converted to chloride ions. Just like the one half of salt, not nearly as toxic. Chloramine causes hemolytic anemia in fish, it messes with the chemical in red blood cells that carry oxygen, I believe. When we drink it it doesn't get in our blood but it goes right in fishes' systems through the gills.
We add the chlorine to get rid of bacteria
Yeah I knew how that worked. I had a pool at one point. I guess I never thought it through because in my head, after how people get about water treatment I assumed it gets broken down, like this bacteria is different or something haha. Guess I learn something new every day. Makes me mad when I should have connected the dots myself XD
My goodness, just toss the bottle and call it an expensive lesson learned, if you are that worried, lol.
I wish I had found a "nerdy" man that shared my habit, but alas, my dh has learned to just live with it. But he's the first to show people my tanks when they come over, and drag them out to the pond I dug, singing my praises.

That should be fine, a little extra Prime shouldn't hurt even if it wasn't affected by the garlic.
Now I'm craving shrimp with garlic. :rofl:
