Amquel

has anyone used this product successfully to remove chloramine, it say it removes nitrites as well is there any problems i should know about?

bump, nobody has used this?

In aquariums, yes, lots. You can also get yourself sodium thiosulfate in dry form, save lots of $$ and it's the active ingredient in Amquel.

I dig that bike, what is it? I can't quite make it out... hold on, lemme grab my magnifying glass... What is it? It's beautiful.

its a 1965 honda sport 65 with a modern day chinese engine tons of fun, gets about 100 mpg and does about 55 mph. any of those old honda bikes can take these new 2 bolt chinese engine.

do you think i would get away with using the amquel its all i have access to will it remove the chloramine with no side effects

Yep, perfectly fine. Neat little bike. My husband's got a couple of CX500s he likes to tool on.

I would not use that product in your hydro water. Many aquarium products have some form of sodium in them, and any kind of sodium kills plants. Maybe the stuff dissipates quickly, but why risk it?

The sodium will have a worse effect than the chloramines.

I think that is what i remember hearing a while ago, about the chloramine removers, that it builds up a lot of salt, but like i said its the only stuff i can get a hold of right now. is there any way to remove the sodium that will build up, and what about sodium thiosulfate alot of people say that it will work, but it has sodium in it as well, right? the guy at the hydro store told me the doulble filter they have over is the only thing they have there and it will remove everything but it is a hundred bucks, so I will postpone the grow and till i am better prepared.

unless anyone could suggest a cheap alternative method to use city tap water for my ebb and flood set up.

Yes, just use your tap water.

So, you're saying that sodium thiosulfate adds to the sodium content of water, potroast? If this is true, why are aquarists not concerned with it?
