Exactly what I do for a 125 gallon indoor pool, 100 gallon, 55 gallon and 50 
gallon tank. All the smaller ones get filled from either a storage drum which 
is filled through carbon filters or by an automatic drip system through the 
same carbon filters. The fish seem to benefit from a very brief exposure to 
chlorine, but certainly are severely damaged by a continued exposure. I f you have 
ever seen a fish go in hours from completely healthy looking to one with fins 
that are dissolving and slime coat that is sloughing off and breathing is 
labored you have witnessed chlorine effects.
