Sodium Thiosulfate is one of the major ingredients in most dechlors. Many
of the dechlors cost $25 to $30 per gallon at the local fish store. A 50
pound bucket from Aquatic-Eco, at about $65 plus shipping will make 50
gallons. It will change the chlorine, but does nothing for ammonia. For
major water changes with water containing chloramine, then one of the other
products like Prime, AmQuel, or Ultimate which will bind the ammonia are
better. I use ST most of the time, but have the good stuff to take care of
the water during spawns, when ammonia will go out the top of the test kit.
The ammonia in chloramine will show up on the test kits, but most filters
will remove it very quickly. For major water changes, it could be at toxic
levels, but at 10 or 15% the ammonia is barely perceptable.
