Favorite Chloramine Remover?

[JeffNebraska]

The nightly news in the SF Bay Area announced that they are now adding chloromine to the tap water here. I've always relied on Stress Coat to handle chloramine, but now I feel like I should step up to something meatier.

Does anyone have a favorite Chloramine remover they'd like to recommend?

Thanks.

The experts at the Greater City Aquarium Society in NYC (and they really are experts) recommend AmQuel. I've only ever used Wardley's and TLC (Tender Living Care).

I use AquaPlus and Seachem Neatral Regulator...

InstaChlor. Cheap and only works on chlorine and chloramine (the less chemicals in what I add to my tanks the better IMHO).

I use Aqua Plus.

Kent Chlorinex is what I use and it's worked great so far. One thing I should point out here is that the active ingredient in most dechlorinators is sodium thiosulfate. Sodium thiosulfate neutralizes chlorine. Chloramine is a complex of chlorine and ammonia. The sodium thiosulfate breaks the bond between chlorine and ammonia. Once the bond is broken, the chlorine is neutralized...but the ammonia remains. You might want to check your water for ammonia before using it in the tank. If your tank has a pH over 7, the ammonia could pose a problem if you do large water changes. You may end up having to use something to bind up the ammonia depending on the concentration.

Kent Ammonia Detox...otherwise Amquel.

I use Tetra Aquasafe with no complaints. I like the fact that it also chelates the heavy metals that may be present in my building's water pipes.

Here is a review of water dechlorinators that I found:

My lfs recommended Seachem Prime, and I've had good results so far.

I use Bio-Coat and Bio-Safe myself. Thats about it really.

I prefer Tetras Aquasafe. Tho the I currently am working out of a bottle of Aqua Plus by Nutrafin.

I use Prime, same as Amquel but 10 times more concentrated (so 10 times cheaper!) Works fine so far.

 

[vega]

AquaPlus

 

[myriam]

BioSafe.

 

[Ady1397]

I also use stress Zyme with my AquaPlus

Bio-safe and Bio-coat for water changes, Amquel for ammonia related problems only if I can't do an immediate water change.
