    I'm currently refilling the tank during water change straight from the tap. And I slowly add in anti-chlorine/chloramine to the outlet so it will be mixed into the water. Will that be sufficient? I'm currently suffering from about 0.5-1ppm of ammonia in my water, 2 weeks old tank, using ADA soil so I'm wondering could it be my water change method killing bacteria and filter cannot establish properly.
    I'm back!

    what i do is put the full recommended amount of anti-chlorine near the hose outlet while the water is flowing in. my reasoning is that the anti-chlorine should be rather harmless to the fish especially for a short period of time, and the water will be dechlorinated as it hits the tank due to the "excess" anti-chlorine already in the water.

    That's what I'm doing. Not sure if the anti-chlorine needs time to react with the water.
    I'm back!
