Straight from tap water change safe for CRS?

[kaym]

Thinking of doing straight from tap water change around 20% once every week for CRS tank, followed by anti-chlorine/chloramine dosing into tank. Any one thinks this is safe enough for CRS?

Current tank setup does not have space to store aged water for 3ft tank.
Thanks.

[mars_see]

i think is still safer to age the water first...

I use a standard size red color pail to collect water from tap before adding Seachem Prime.
Do some stirring before introducing to tank.

i do the same as kensk, so far no casualty. always pays to be cautious when handling such fragile shrimps

[kaym]

some bros here observe no problem when topping up straight from the tap even for their CRS. Guess i'll have to try it out and see for myself. Long term, i need to be able to do water change conveniently enough to do it regularly for my 3 footer.

[godprint]

doesn't direct tap water contains chlorine and it would kill all the bacteria in the tank?

[kaym]

dose antichlorine straight away as i do water change.

Hmmm so far i use straight from tap water my crs so far so good but everytime only change 10% to 20% of the water more den that i not so sure

[kaym]

What is the size of your CRS tank siansian? And what grade is the CRS?
Any dosing of anti-chlorine after straight tap water change?

That's too risky for CRS. For a 3 footer, maybe you can prepare 2 red pails.

Hi bro my is 3ft and 4ft tank 3ft tank is abc grade 4ft tank is s+ and above they even breed me just use straight from tap water without dosing any anti-chlorine

[kaym]

Then my 3ft should be fine then
At the moment, testing out the water of the new tank setup with cherries. Going to add CRS later.

[siansian]

Hmmm you use cherry shrimp this shrimp is very hardly if i will you i go for tiger or bee to test the water

[kaym]

tiger and bee more hardy than CRS?

[jedimech]

both are slightly more hardy than crs, but not as hardy as cherry.

O_O straight from tap water bro? = ] I've never tried before, cause water here in boonlay is terrible, even when i age it, sumtimes changing too much still causes issues with my crs tanks = [

[siansian]

Hmmm bro there no right or wrong just to share i do use direct straight from the tap some of the bro here do use age water because they think is safer and were not stress the shrimp this may be the best way but i lazy i use on my crs for a few year nothing go wrong

Method of using can be a or b? just like i said there no right or wrong
A)using age water better will not stress the shrimp (Mostly most of you using this method)
B)use straight from the tap(lazy people like me so far my area the water is ok but again i do hear some of the area the water not so good just like bro zeloc87 said so do take note thank)

[zeloc87]

haha yes bro, i not arguing = ] just expressing my honest shock cos for myself, i ever tried once, and all died >_< so i didnt think its possible = p It's amazing how singapore so small, but water so different at different places... Sometimes the water from my tap can go up to ph8.0

[siansian]

Bro i know is good that you reply and we are here to share and learn from each other what the problem we to face and enjoy hobby
So bro Kaym or other also can know the problem how to solve and which is the better way to do
As you know crs is not cheap when you go along for better grade

Quite rare to find pH straight from the tap at 8.0
Maybe there's some problem with the water pipes?
