Will a dechlorinating water conditioner remove chloramine?
Yes and no. Regular dechlorinators remove the chlorine part of chloramine but leave the ammonia in the water. Technically speaking, the chloramine is removed, but the water is not safe for fish. Some manufacturers of water conditioners state their product removes chloramine, but fail to tell you that the ammonia is still present in the water. In addition, many regular dechlorinating water conditioners are not strong enough to completely neutralize all of the chloramine. This results in both free ammonia and chloramine in your aquarium. You should use a water conditioner formulated especially for chloramines, such as Ammo-Lock.
