Although it is true that Chlorine will disapate naturally if water is
left to stand the same is not true of chloramines. If you water
company uses chloramines in your water it is essential that you use a
suitable water conditioner before adding the water into your tank.
Personally, I use it even though, at the moment, my Water Company
does not use chloramines as I prefer to be able to get the water
change task done as efficiently as possible without having buckets of
water hanging around overnight - but then I have 6 tanks - and the
number of buckets required for a water change on a 130g tank make
this quite impractical....also without checking my water company's
website each time I change the water I never know if they might have
changed their policy on adding chloramines....

Thanks for the info Gill... i was unaware of this.
