All of the stuff in the water to kill bacteria like chlorine and chloramines, and metals in the water can kill them and all of your BB/beneficial bacteria.

This will harm the creatures as well and kill them too. Any grocery store/ walmart usually has some of the dechlorinator/water conditioner, so get some immediately.

The better kind is called Prime which also helps neutralize ammonia which a product of the waste. Petco has it and I think so does Petsmart. Or most local fish stores.

+1. One small note, I recently read a post around this forum about some water conditioners labeled "not for use for human consumption" or something to that effect. Here is a brand that is FDA approved I found in a quick search... From a site called: J E H M C O .com

This is the tank we out a new pump in the tank area as the man we have been dealing with said it may not be strong enough to distribute the salt through the tank so I will be trying that for now see how it goes

IMO. Use that Chloram X stuff. Also that protein skimmer; is that in the main tank or a sump(tank seperate to the main tank for filtering purposes)?
