Default Re: water change methods

OldSalt, what you say is interesting. I've never thought about the taste of the dechlor we use. I don't always use it when I change water and maybe I should rethink the way I have always done things. BTW, for everyones information, you don't necessarily have to wait for chlorine to evaporate. If you change only a small amouint of water ( say 10-25% ), just splash a lot when you add it to the tank and most chlorine will evaporate. ( Not chloromine tho. ).
Salt, I did the taste test. I have Novaqua and AquaScience Ultimate on hand. I tryed both and didn't notice much taste at all. I didn't taste a lot, cause I didn't have my "puke" bucket handy. Have you actually done the side by side with two tanks? ( one with dechlor and one without ). I'm always willing to hear new theories and I try to be open minded, but I remain skeptical about this.
