I have used this one product on Chlorine and now Chloramines for several
years(15+ years) now. Amquel is in no way harmful to plants nor fish. I have
had many species of plants and Discus and some other touchy fish over these
years. Never in any way did I have problem using this product or resulting
from using it. I do large water changes too(25 to 75% weekly) so if there
was something going on I would have been and would be now in very big
trouble!!
Sounds like the LFS are not sure........ I am. They should fess up and tell
you they are not sure rather than tell you what they did. I support them and
all but they sometimes don't know beans..........<g>. I kind of feel like
it's our job somewhat to educate them and be friendly so we can work with
them to stop myths like this from spreading!
