Re: [Live-foods] Chorine / Chloramine Treatment

Hi Gay

CloramX which is the old amquel.

I through a little pinch in my new jars.

At the live foods culture course I took in Fort Pierce Florida they  
were culturing rotifers.  Their water was from a sea water well with  
tons of ciliates.  They would bleach the solar tubes and then treat  
with cloramX the remove the chlorine and protect against ammonia.   
The had a similar system for moina.

The new rotifer machines that grow rotifers in densities up to 500  
per ml have an algae dosing pump as well as a cloramX dosing pump.

I get mine in 5 or 10 pound pails of dry powder from http://www.reed- 
mariculture.com/ and they usually have free shipping.  They also have  
charts with dosing so you can mix up amquel strength solutions if you  
prefer liquid measurement over powder.

Best fishes
