Salt & Fresh Water Dechloronators...How Much Is Enough???

Post by Crab_Coalition » Wed Aug 05, 2015 8:28 pm

I have been searching through the links for recommended sat and fresh water cleaners and I am discovering that they are saying one teaspoon per 10 gallons, etc. it is obvious these m,measurements are for fish in a fully watered 10 gallon tank so what is the true spoon measurement for a terra tank? I usually use bottled water size plastic bottles which i believe is 8 fluid ounces? So what is the appropriate dosage for filling a bottle of water?

With California being in a drought, it's not easy to simply fill up a 10 gallon water tank, throw in the dosage then pour t into tiny bottles so...help! (-:

A lot of de chlorinators come in small bottles that will give you a drops per gallon dosage. Usually easiest to make a gallon at a time so there's no math ;-) I've seen suggestions to get a gallon jug of water from the store and just reuse that bottle.

Which brand are you using? You should not be using a saltwater dechlor, but regular dechlor for both and the a salt mix like Instant Ocean.
