Guys, don't stress yourself unnecessarily. Just use a good conditioner to remove chlorine and chloramine, add it in BEFORE filling up direct from tap. Use sodium bicarbonate to push up pH. The day after, just add a gd source of beneficial bacteria to replenish those that might have been removed by the water change process. That's it!

Just make sure anti-chlorine is dosed all the time will be safe. I always dose more than recommended.

actually what's the folk lore????
about added more chloramine..
i dont think it is really true.
because prior to pumping the water out to the potable pipes,
all the water are conditioned and treated to better than WHO standards alrdy

what type of salts r u using for the medication of ur aro?
if you dissolve the salts in a cup prior to pouring it into the tank instead of putting the salts directly into the tank....
I believe the former will be a safer way.

Using normal aquarium salt.
Will dissolve salt in a pail of water b4 introducing into the tank.
