I have a 2ft and 5ft tank and I changed 20-30% of the water straight from the tap. No anti-chlorine added at all. Both plants and fishes are fine.
Hi folks,
Like to know if anyone ever change water without leaving it to stand overnight to get rid of chlorine and chloromine?
I have been changing my water (1/3 of tank) without leaving it to stand. That was when I had only 1 cory and 1 sucker catfish and there was no harm done. Now that I have more fishes, 2 of rams, otos, SAE and some shrimps, I think it might be wise to do so.
But I have this presumption that some chlorine in the tank may be beneficial, especially in killing some of the unwanted pest and invertebrates, and some algae too. Can I have a second opinion on this?

used to do it, but no longer, I change 50% biweekly for my 6ft
Good! At least I have 2 kaki who don't wish to do so.
if I got a choice, I prefer to leave it overnite, but laziness got the better of me if u have a small tank, dun take any risk
Same here, a bit lazy to pour into the tank scoop by scoop. Also don't want to pay for a pump to do the work. I abit cheapo leh.
i've been doing water changes via hose since day one
no water change related casualties *crosses fingers*
