Another Dead Fish

[eaglesaquarium]

No, there are some other "old salts" who have always done this. They claim that the chlorine gasses off as they pour it in (or it goes rapidly), and the chloramine bond can be broken by the filter bacteria themselves and then the chlorine gasses off, so it is unnecessary. (That is what they claim, not what I am proposing.) Personally, I use dechlorinator, because I always have and using Prime or Stress Coat helps with the ammonia that I add every time I water change, just because it doesn't seem like a smart thing to chance. Its fairly cheap and doesn't take much effort.



Like I said, Akasha, you could just dose it twice during the process of refilling to no ill effects. While I understand your concerns, they are actually easy to work around and would save you a lot of pain. (Just something to think about. )

I dont use dechlorinator when i do a 20% change, im in the UK But i wouldnt risk it with a 50%

There are plenty of flat bottom test tubes with lids on eBay. I was going to link to the ones I bought but it seems the seller doesn't do them any more.

The API ones break so ridiculously easy, I broke three in one morning (I can be really clumsy sometimes, especially when doing water tests too early in the morning during my cycling). I've ordered official API ones online and most of them haven't even arrived in one piece. So, I ordered some generic ones and I've only broken two of them in as many months.

I use Prime and it's so cheap, I see no reason not to use it.

Mr. Tizer himself started with fish in cycle, he abandoned the tiger barbs after his fish in cycle was complete, thats like sucking the life of the fish to get your tank ready and then give them over to somebody who has got no clue of what they have been through.

on top of that this guy has the audacity to pass oily comments on a close your eyes and shoot basis.

Ok MR. you want to make people feel the guilt, WAKE UP they lost a fish, they are already sad. Your among those people who enjoy poking on peoples wounds and then LOL on them. you like many others enjoy just saying OH YOU did This, You did That...all problems....no valid solution.

In the end all you do is just add a link to the beginners resource centre WOOOOW thats like Tizer the Savior, if only you REALLY cared a bit (that is you can`t do more than that) you can spend some additional lines speaking about the solution. Harsh comments of yours gives a bad name to the forum and the types of members here .

Calm down crunch7, having a go back is hardly helpful and is irrelevant to the post about Akasha's fish. If you have a problem with Tizer talk to him directly in private.

Yeah you are right, I read the thread and I felt for akasha, she reminded me of my start in the hobby. I am not particular about anyone but Tizer just fits the Bill every way , I am against all those who are mean to the newbies at the hobby.

As for Akashas thread shes got all the good advice now, i wish her good luck and will like her to know that there are other people on this forum who know how to talk to public .

lol crunch

I'd love to write a witty reply to you, but im afraid it would be wasted on you.

I love you long time.

The reason i often link the resource center is because its stuffed full of information that rarely changes. People have a habit of posting in the belief that they are a special case, that they deserve focused attention on themselves, which is fine, but its rarely the case that the answer isnt in the resource section, so why bother spending hours rewriting it for one specific person in a different thread. If people actually bothered to spend an hour reading this section, we wouldnt have half of the idiotic posts on here that we do, which, in all honesty make this forum some what "hard work" at times.
