Favorite De-Clorinator

Prime all the way. A capful treats 50 gallons so it lasts a super long time and detoxifies nitrite and nitrate too

right now i'm using aquaplus, but I actually prefer Big Al's Brand, which I will get once I'm done this bottle.

I've always wondered about that. How does it "detoxify" nitrite and nitrite? It doesn't remove it from the water.

Other: Jungle's Start Right. Tried Tetra AquaSafe (or whatever it is) once, because they were out of my Jungle stuff, but I didn't like it much (I have no good reason for not liking it, I just prefer the Jungle brand). Someone gave me a bottle of StressCoat and I didn't have any problems with it. Jungle is cheaper though. It also helps reduce stress, adds electrolytes, does something with metals , and all kinds of other good stuff One bottle treats 480 gallons (US) and the "dose" is 1tsp/5mL per 10 gallons.

Chrloramine doesn't come to the UK!!

I am not too sure of that. One of the old reports I read said that they have revised the Nitrite levels to facilitate the use of Chloramine ......

not sure...I'd have to reffer to the handy dandy bottle info. I'm on trucked water from a river, so all I worry about is cholrine and chloramine...unless floride is evil

If it even does half of what it claims it's a bonus! And I end up only using about 5 drops for a water change!

well since there was no option for novaqua AND amquel, i just picked amquel.
like many, i started out using stresscoat. its what we had for my goldfish doomed to bowls when i was little and what my dad always used for our ponds.

heres the link from the other thread in case anyone missed it.
