Subject: Chloride vs. Chlorine
Mark Fisher posted on 9 Jan 97, that chloride in general is harmless to
fish. The specific case mentioned was the addition of table salt, Sodium
Chloride, NaCl. I've a Phosphate garden fertilizer that is made from
Phosphate Chloride, KCl, but I thought any form of Chlorine (i.e. chloride)
was bad for fish. Does this mean the Phosphate fertilizer is safe to use
in an aquarium substrate?
