Hello Everyone,

I am seeking some sound advice.

I have been researching some natural methods for the removal of chlorine and chloramines ( more specifically chloramines ) from tap water. I came across 2 methods :

1. Sodium Thiosulphate ( I seem to have trouble finding it here at the pharmacy ) - though available online.
2. Vitamin C powder ( ascorbic acid )

Question

Using Vit C powder, is it safe for fish ? Would anyone know some quantities to use per liter / gallon etc. ?

Thank you

I have not heard of using Vitamin C powder as a dechlorinator so can't comment on safety/dosage.

Most shop-bought dechlorinators use Sodium Thiosulphate so the best thing is to use one of those. If you're cost-conscious, try Seachem Safe, a powdered form of Prime which is used in tiny quantities and very economical to use.

Hi, thank you for the response. It is precisely why I am seeking alternate methods, the declorinators are expensive when you have multiple tanks. RO system is my next step when I add more tanks, but for now I cannot justify the cost - and RO has its own attending costs too.
