If only a small amount of water is added to an aquarium or pond to make up for evaporation loss, do chloramines still have to be removed?
This will depend on the amount of water added in relation to the size of the aquarium or pond and the time period over which its added. An alternative is to monitor for total chlorine residual in the aquarium or pond water while adding the chloraminated water. Chloramines residuals in water used to keep fish should be kept below 0.1 mg/L. Total chlorine test kits are available from pet stores, pool supply stores and chemical supply houses.
