Obviously.
That's why I'd like to know how this is done using a python with city/county water.
its easy just treat the tank before you start adding water. 100 gal tank gets 100 gal worth of prime.
I feel the same. I have 3 tanks I maintain now and its too much... always missing a water change here or there. I dont even feed my fish every day, probably 3-4 times a week depending. I'm trying to upgrade all the tanks and hopefully will fully automate the water changing and fertilizer dosing. That will atleast keep the water changed as it should and all the parameters balanced. Depending on the week, I simply dont have hours to spend. For example one of my rotations at work is 6 days a week 12hrs each day, and thats flipping from dayshift for 3 and nightshift the other 3.
The family takes a lot of time away from hobbies to, a good hour spent each day taking my son to the sitters and back, plus having to watch/entertain him constantly. And a wife who thinks fish arent something that time needs to be spent on.
everything is easier with a python hose 
i now have 8 tanks running, 1 150g 1 75g 4 55g 2 40g breeders
water change once a week
takes about 3 hours for everything..

I am not sure if you understood the answer.
Once you drain your old water out, treat the whole tank and then add your new water.
It wasn't a response to your reply... just a question about using pythons, which we got on the subject of later in the thread.
Yeah that's what Mg said above. It will really dechlorinate the fresh water as it enters the tank, instantly before the fish are exposed to it at all?

I don't even have a spouse and kids to take up my time, like you do, and sometimes I still have trouble staying focused on the task at hand when PWC day comes. Some people have so much more going on in their lives and still maintain so many aquariums. It's amazing I think.

I wish I was a fish I wish.
