disinfectant to control bacteria. Chlorine and chloramine in tap water is harmless to humans but is deadly to fish unless a chlorine neutraliser is added.
Making this chlorine neutraliser is easy and cheap to make and you don,t need much to make it.
Things you will need:
- sodium thiosulphate
- a measuring cup
- distilled water
- First you take your measuring and throw some sodium thiosulphate crystals in, the more crystals you throw in, the longer you,l wait until its dissolved.
- Next you throw some distilled water in to, the water should be equal to the crystals otherwise the chlorine neutraliser will be ineffective.
- Wait. It takes a long time before the chlorine neutraliser is finished and that time is about at least overnight.
- That's it! it,l look like this when its finished. After you used the sodium thiosulphate, put in the refrigerator for later use otherwise the crystals will melt. About 3 drops is enough to treat 10 gallons (37 liters) of fresh water.
