np i have both thanks any way

and i have to say DAMN THIS SITE I GOT IS GOOD FOR NEWBIES

it explains things in a normal language lol

oh also cloramine is a compound that is made when nitrite and amonia mix together

ratio 1 part amonia 5 parts nitrite

also

Chloramine is also formed if the water supply is treated with sodium hypochlorite

pls take note of the WORD SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE
which is wot most councils PUT in the WATER to clean it for drinking

chloramine is a compound that needs 2 parts to be placed together to form it

ie sodium hypochlorite or amonia and nitrite


SO if you can keep your fish tank AMONIA AT 0 and the nitrite at 0
this means that Chloramine cant be formed which most tanks should be 0 of both

there for does this mean when water changing THE WATER TAKEN CAN IT BE RECYCLED ???AS THE AMONIA 0 NITRITE 0 THIS IS PERFECT TO STOP Chloramine

LET ME KNOW YOUR VIEWS THANKS
