I'm using genesis from Aquarium products (AP), not sure how reliable because so far so good thus never try other brand.
anyone can advise the reliable brand name for anti chlorine?

thank you guys
I have always used Sodium Thiosulphate Na2S2O3 (Hypo) for the past 10 years for dechlorination.Available at your LFS and lasts for years.
although you can directly put the crystals into the aquarium (the reaction is instantaneous). Beware! If the water contains Chloramine instead of chlorine please desist as Hypo will release ammonia into the water.

Otherwise see: http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/rev-cond.htm for a detailed write up on commercially available brands of chlorine and chloramine removers.

For me I use Bio Stress Guard. It good and so far no problem, been using this for yrs le. See photo below..
I have been using Nutrafin aquaplus (anti chlorine & anti chloromine) since the luohan and discus days with no issues.
You can try seachem prime as well
I will go down to the LFS and pick one. Thanks alot guys.
Seachem Prime.
yeah, seachem prime is good, but watch the dosage, less is better here, too much seems to have adverse effects for me.

eleborate more.....i seems to had a wipe-out on using this..
Hi Bro, I am using Seachem Prime too. How much you consider as over dose with adverse effects ? TksOriginally Posted by Jungle-mania
Umm I really cant tell you about the chemical reaction but if the tap water is dosed with chloramine instead of chlorine by the authorities, then the addition of Hypo will release ammonia due to the reaction of Hypo with chloramine. This release of ammonia could harm your fauna.
However that said, I have been using Hypo ever since I came to Singapore with no adverse effects. Though I must confess, I use a few crystals for say 40 litres of water. Its enough.

I should be working not posting
Seachem Prime, Kordon Amquel and Ammo lock.
For planted tank the ammonia released from contact with chloramine+hypo is quickly absorbed by the plants. No need to worry unless you have a very sparsely planted tank.

Thanks bros for info, using it on my big tanks no problem. But come to small 1ft bare tank encounter wipe-out. I got few kg left getting from m'sia.
I find that seachem prime works well with tanks 2 feet and above, since ammonia and nitrate take longer to have any negative effects, by then it be too late. While for small tanks, I find using your usual oceanfree anti-chlorine which you can get anywhere and afew dashes of black water essence with weekly water change is more than enough.
Seachem Prime works well for me.
