thought i would do this as a thread, it plays an important role in many of our fish-keeping lives!!!
For the record, i refer to dechlorinators, chloramine removers, heavy metal removers. Wondering what does the best job for the best value and WHERE do you buy it or order it |
| 10-08-2006 20:13 by Lexter |
I currently use 2-litres of Nutrafin Aqua Plus that i buy down local fish shops (Home Marine - Crews Hill) for £20.99
10ml per 70 litres as a dechlorinator and 10ml per 35 litres to remove chloramine I use the 10ml per 35 litres, Works out at... am assumming the average peep on here has about 500 litres total tank water altogether, and am averaging 30% weekly water changes as thats what i believe in (tropical fish) Cost per week 500 litres / 30% change = £0.45p |

i used to use Tetra Aqua Safe (500ml), costs about £12 from most fish shops, 5ml per 10 litres, using the above formula that would work out as £1.80 per week (4 times more expensive)  |

We use Waterlife's Haloex with Aloe Vera which we get from our LFS 'Golls Aquatics'. We get a 500ml bottle for £15.25 which treats 5,000 gallons. |

cheers DB will take a look |
| 13-08-2006 12:03 by Lexter |
DB - i checked the link
dead cheap, just under $10 but shipping to UK is $64 all in all (even with postage) using my above forumula getting the bottle that treats 2500 gallons equates to £0.55p per week, so i am still better off with my £20.99 2L Nutrafin, BUT - do you really pay that postage DB, coz the shipping charge makes up 85% of total cost of product?????? |
| 13-08-2006 12:07 by Lexter |
DB - sorry being a bit slow, i guess you bulk buy it, rather than buying just one bottle???

Including postage you can get 1000ml Tetra Pond Aqau-Safe (treats 20,000 litres) for £19.48 That works out at £0.15 per week on my formula, think i have found my supply here Think of the difference based on just 500 litres tank water Aqua Safe 500ml bottle from shops equals £1.80 per week Pond Safe (as above) £0.15 per week |
