Oh! I read about how some simple dechlorinaters can react with the chlorine
and leave ammonia free in the water. So, removing the chlorine I can
introduce a new problem of ammonia. Does this Genesis remove ammonia as
well?

THanks!

So is Amquel such a product? BigAls doesn't seem to carry Amquel but they
do have the Genesis you were talking about. Should I get the 4 oz or 1
pint container...if it deteriorates over time then...

thanks!!

Dave.

The only reason I'm using it is to get rid of the cholorine in the

couple days but the extreme temperature drop (with 50% water changes)
when added to the tank were detrimental to some sensitive fish I keep.

Then definately go to a straight thiosulfate product. No need for
anything else. You can even add the thiosulfate to the tank and then the
tapwater at the right temperature. I've done this for discus.
