Now this is interesting.....

Go Fig posted this website that is suppose to be the same stuff. The
difference between two seems to be you need 5 lbs of ChlorAm-X (AES-$26.50)
to treat 18,749 gallons. The similar stuff, called Dechlorinator, 8 oz. for
$6.30 at this website:

Now I wonder what the difference is, and/or is there one, other than the
price? Anyone? Wait!

Never mind, did some searching of my own and found that the stuff at above
website is "basically sodium thiosulfate which is widely used to break down
chlorine and chloramines and is considered non-toxic to fish." So it's just
dechlor it appears. To read the whole thing:

wish to use a product for possible ammonia spikes, best buy the ChlorAm-X,
imo. ~ jan

Go on line, look for a product called ChlorAm-X, or order some from AES.
It's a dry powder. It's 1/4th the cost of AmQuel, and is AmQuel's formula
(plus a few more buffers). AmQuel's patent has expired, as has the
non-compete clause for the inventor, so this is the new stuff on the market.

Where do y'all by your Amquel? I have decided the only way to rid myself
of
clay...is to start some water changes. The Amquel at P*tsmart seems
expensive.
