What de-chlorinators do you use?

[smiley1996]

Right okay so usually I use Aqua Safe, but today the shop didn't have any (dobbies) and so I brought some King British Safe Guard - does the same thing but just wondered if any of you guys used the same or what De-chlorinator you do use?

I use aqua safe plus! It's what I have for all my fish tanks! Can't say about any other brand sorry.

I use dechlorinators that are designed for koi ponds, one bottle lasts for years and years, you just need to calculate the correct dosage for smaller volumes of water.

That's awesome, any reply was great so thankyou
I must ask Koi fish? even for tanks with say Axolotls in it? that's great!
Aqua safe plus, how different is that fro just aqua safe?

 

[Elliriyanna]

I believe aquasafe plus has an addition that helps the slime coat

I use to use aquasafe plus ... Then zoomed reptile water conditioner and now stresscoat plus

I use Zoo med Reptisafe and API stress coat.

 

[JessJesting]

Elliriyanna is correct.

Oh I see! Yeah I didnt know whether changing to this one would harm anything in any way? Always stuck to aqua safe ...
Zoo med reptisafe not heard of that one, any good? Does it last long?

I don't see how it would harm anything really. As long as it does the same thing it should be fine.

I've never had a problem with it... dechlorinator is dechlorinator as long as it says 'instantly removes chlorine and chloramines' or something to that effect.

Thats true hehe ^^

I use plain sodium thiosulfate. No aloe, no additives. I found the one with aloe caused fungus on my axies' gills and slime on the walls of my tank .

I hope mine dont have the same reaction this new ones got aloe vera :-/

API brand anything is best

 

[JessJesting]

Now I'm worried about an allergic reaction! Like I said I've been using aquasafe plus and it has the added aloe. Is this a common issue?

The fungus could have been coincidental, but the slime in the tank definitely was related to the aloe - you could smell it.

I'm not saying anyone else would have the same problem - many people use an aloe additive - I'm just saying I had an issue.

 

[smiley1996]

Its good it was brought up to be honest id like to know the potential negatives of some additives in products so I can watch out for it
