Chloramines would need to break down and if it does work you'd still have ammonia. Prime/safe/amquel+plus

[myjohnson]

Catalytic carbon + slow flow rate?

[eklikewhoa]

I'm not completely positive on the time frame since I have total faith in amquel+plus

[myjohnson]

Chloramine test kit will get you there. Its either slower flow rate or more media.

I don't trust the hot water heater and all the sediment that could build up, plus copper lines.

With the large water changes I pour the dose for the whole water volume but if the water smells funny I dose double. The carbon bottle/snake does nothing for chloramines/ammonia.

lol water smells funny? hmm you must have a great nose because I think water smells like nothing... unless you mean tank water which does have a little smell

[myjohnson]

Sometimes you can smell the extra chlorine in the water.

[eklikewhoa]

Yes, you can smell a difference. water should smell like nothing but sometimes you have a hint of chlorine or that old metal sell... I also have a magical filling in my tooth and I can taste the slight hint of metal in anything. If you scrape a fork against a metal pot that served food I can taste it. Odd but it works.

Omg I thought I was the only one!! Me too! I hate it usually but it works for water changes.

We is gifted... we serve a purpose, whatever it is, sure hope it's not to do water changes.

Also when you guys do huge water changes like 80-99% do you guys first put in the dechlorinator and then add the tap water or just slowly add the dechlorinator while the tap water is pumping out?

I add the entire dose into the tank and then add tap water directly thereafter.

You know you're in tune with your hobby when you can smell bad water.

If that's what we're destined for Q, then we're also destined to have many tanks. Large ones. MOARMOARMOAR!

Or taste it.
