I was cleaning his tank and I forgot his chemicals before I put him in the tank. I rushed the chemicals in the tank. Will he be Okey?
No, they add dechlorinator *before* adding water. I usually give the Prime a few minutes to disperse.Ya im sure he will be.
When people refill their tanks with Python water change equipment they have to then add the dechlorinator after wards and its ok.
I use Python and i enjoy the product, but theres no way to add declorinator when yer refilling the tank from the tap unless you do so by dripping it into the stream at the same time, or just add it into the tank afterwards.No, they add dechlorinator *before* adding water.

You (and Potluck) have been really down on the python all over the site recently. It's fine to have your preferences, but 1. figure out how it actually works, because you can do water changes safely with it; and 2. there's no need to bash it when nobody even brought it up.
The python has literally cut hours off of my water change time without costing me autonomy, which is a *huge* deal for a person with a disability.
Dislike it all you want. Discuss its *actual* shortcomings if you must. Stop bringing it up out of nowhere criticizing how it wouldn't work if you use it wrong.
Well, I apologize. I misread your post as snarky. I should not have done that.I use Python and i enjoy the product, but theres no way to add declorinator when yer refilling the tank from the tap unless you do so by dripping it into the stream at the same time, or just add it into the tank afterwards.
My only real issue is that cleaning the tubing can be difficult if its not rinsed out regularly, as stale water in side can cause slime.
I think this is the first time ive actually ever mentioned the product.
That being said, i do prefer the old bucket method because you can add the declorinator to the water and let it do its thing before replacing it into the tank.
No worries, and if youve found a way to have declorinator activaed before refilling than id love to know how you do it, its actually the only reason i dont use my python more regularly.
Just so i got yer method straight... you add the prime to the remaining tank water before switching the flow and refilling the aquarium?
No you don't, that's a huge amount of prime to the fish in a low water volume most people add it slowly throughout the filling processNo, they add dechlorinator *before* adding water. I usually give the Prime a few minutes to disperse.

EDIT: yes you start adding the prime when you start filling but here's what I meant by to much, say you have a 55 gallon and you do 50% of the water, 5.5 ml of prime in that low of water is very strong and can severely affect your fish if they come in contact with that area where the prime was added,
So what we all doin on a Friday nite Christmas weekend?
Haha
