Dechlorinator...

[Marcus Fox]

Is there any commercially available dechlorinator that does not contain aloe
vera? Being in the UK, I don't think I can ring up a chemical co. and ask
them to post me some thiosulphate? I e-mailed Sigma and they told me they
couldn't sell me any chemical, no matter how benign.

"PrimeT also promotes the production and regeneration of the natural slime
coat."

So what's in it that does this, if not aloe vera?

well well, it looks like Seachem changed the formula. The last bottle
I used called for 1 drop/gal. I don't think it did anything more then
just chlorine/chloramin removal.

I would use the new Prime. Seachem has a good record.

Dunno. I thought all you needed to stimulate slime coat was a mild irritant?
Anyhow, at 1ml per 10 gallon dosage, I don't see how it can have aloe vera
*and* neutralize chlorine and chloramine, detoxify ammonia, nitrite, nitrate,
heavy metals, etc. It only lists "complexed hydrosulfite salts" as ingredients.

Easy!! Kordons AmQuel contains NO aloe vera. Available from any online store
in the USA

Don't see why you can't buy sodium thiosulfate. I did here in the US
without any issue. It isn't an ingredient in anything dangerous - that I
have ever heard of.

HI,

I use Waterlife Haloex - it's efficient, only needs a small amount and
is relatively cheap.

I buy mine from aquatics-online.
