    water change question

    Was wondering, for folks that use the 'python' that siphon water out of tank, and connecting it directly to the tap to pipe water into the tank, when and where do they add anti-chlorine/chloramine ?

    Should the required amount be added to remaining tank water before adding fresh tap water ? Any problems to the fish/critters ?

    If it's added only after topping up the water, I'm afraid lots of the beneficial bacteria would have been nuked.

    Thanks.

    i usually add genesis to the tank as the water flows from the pipe into the tank. drip the solution near the water outflow to give it a good mix

    I add anti-chlorine/chloramine direct to the tank before I top up the water, near the point where the water enters the tank.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    I add the anti-chlorine where the tap water hits the tank water.
    I'm back!

    I add in aquaplus anti-cholrine/chloramine directly together with the water into the tank. No problem for the fuana/flora.
