How to use dechlorinator? i'm about to change my water in my aquarium.. please help me.!!!

Question

this is my first time that i change my water in my aquarium i have 5 gal. water tank and i use the water where i buy my betta fish.

Answer 1

Each dechlorinator is slightly different in dosage recommendations, so you will want to refer to the label on the product you have purchased. However, most of the good dechlorinators - that don't do a lot of extra stuff - are dosed between one drop for each two gallons of water an two drops for each gallon of water (that's between about 1 drop for each 8 liters and one dop for each 2 liters). Some of the other water conditioners are dosed at 1/2 teaspoon for each ten gallons to 1 Tablespoon for each ten gallons (thats about 2.5-15ml for each 38 liters).

Remember, though, you only need to treat the new water you are adding to the tank, you should not need to treat the entire tank volume.

Chlorinates are also generally very fast acting. Most will neutralize the chlorine in a bucket of source water in a minute or two, and will neutralize chloramine in as little as five minutes.

Remember to check the directions on the chlorine remover you choose to use and make sure you follow those instructions. These will tell you both how to dose the dechlorinator and how long it should take to be effective.

Hope i helped :D

Answer 2

All water conditioners come with instructions.  Mix in the dechlorinator at the recommended dose in a separate container before using it in your betta tank.

Answer 3

Read the side of the container.
