Guys, don't stress yourself unnecessarily. Just use a good conditioner to remove chlorine and chloramine, add it in BEFORE filling up direct from tap. Use sodium bicarbonate to push up pH. The day after, just add a gd source of beneficial bacteria to replenish those that might have been removed by the water change process. That's it!

about added more chloramine.. i dont think it is really true. because prior to pumping the water out to the potable pipes, all the water are conditioned and treated to better than WHO standards alrdy |

if you dissolve the salts in a cup prior to pouring it into the tank instead of putting the salts directly into the tank.... I believe the former will be a safer way. |
