I was using a dechlorinator that reduces fish stress. But, I changed to Prime when I stared this 2x a day PWC to get the cycling going.Ah, so many of us started right here. Doing what you're doing now.
Think of it as a rite of passage You're doing great.
Prime is some of the best stuff out there and it would take me some convincing to make me change. Fill your bucket, dose with Prime and give the water a good swish and let it stand for a minute. That's all you need to rid yourself yourself of chlorine. So many ppl here have a hose going from tap to tank and add Prime as they go. So, there's probably no need to worry yourself with chlorine tests if you're using Prime as directed on the bottle. And the test strips are (generally) so bad, you're probably getting false readings anyway.
Silly me, I thought at 52 I'd be done with those pesky " Rite of Passages". Guess not.
Oh well time for another PWC. I'll visit again when I'm done. Bless you all for sharing your wisdom and experience
