Hi all,
I was just wondering if there are better dechlorinators than others for puffers?
I've seen them mention slime coat....is this of benefit to a puffer?
What about all the other stuff they claim?

the majority of us use "Prime" (made by "Seachem") for dechlorinating
most additives, conditioners, slime coat, etc., are not necessary as long as your water quality is excellent (which it always should be if you follow the "rules")

I love Sachem Prime. I use it for all of my tanks (FW, Brackish, & Marine), even when I use R/O.

AS long as it neutralizes chlorine and chloromine and heavy metals I buy what's on offer.

Been a Prime user for years. With a stink like that, it has to be good.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.
