I have a month-old 56 gal tank cycling with some Zebra Danios that I am doing daily 10%-15% water changes on and I started wondering last night...
Right now I am adding dechlorinator directly in the tank prior to refilling with my python, but I only add enough dechlorinator for 20 gal, which is about twice the recommended amount based on the actual water volume that I'm changing (about 10 gal). I figured extra is better than not enough basically.
Is this safe? Should I be adding enough dechlorinator for the entire tank capacity (56 gal) with every water change? Or is adding too much dechlorinator dangerous?
So far the fish have been doing well with what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance.
