Does anyone understand how chlorine is actually removed from tap water conditioners? I use the product from API, which seems to do a very good job.
I have 240 gallon tank (African cichlids) and when I do a water change, it involves 40-50 gallons. I have a water source directly above the tank, but I don't add the water straight into the tank. Instead, I fill 5 gallon buckets (like you get from Home Depot or Lowe's), where I have a few ml of conditioner inside. I then dump the buckets into the tank.
I'm wondering if I can put the water directly in, while also adding the water conditioner directly to the tank. This would be a lot easier, as I typically have to fill around 10-12 buckets of water, but it seems like the fish may be temporarily exposed to the chlorine. Thoughts?
