Sodium Thiosulfate?

[illpoet]

hi guys! sorry about not bein around to cichlid club in a while i've been really putting the nose to the grindstone at work. well, the truth is i know if i go to cichlid club i'll end up with more tanks and i've run out of space! Hopefully i get a new apt soon and can get more tanks! anyway i was on kens fish and saw this Sodium Thiosulfate http://www.kensfish.com/product3942.html . Has anyone used this before? any dangers etc? if its really a good dechlorinater it could save me a ton of money!
PS my fish are all doing great and breeding heavily!

It's the active ingredient in a lot of chlorine removers...so should work great for that...although it won't do all of the other stuff that Prime or Cloram-X, etc. do...

I use this stuff: http://www.kensfish.com/product400.html

It's fine, I got some of the crystal stuff from someone else last year. It does remove chlorine, but not chloramine. One pound will probably last you a many years since you use such a small amount each time. I mix it in smaller batches in an old Genesis dropper bottle.

I agree with the other Matt, but I use Safe. (Last time I checked, it was cheaper than Chloram-X, per quantity of water dechlorinated, but perhaps that has changed.)

I just started using Safe last fall. No complaints, and much cheaper than prime.
