We're in Vancouver so, as Adam stated, you can just let the chlorine off-gas with a powerhead
Thanks for the detailed write up of your process! I understand that conditioners can also cause the skimmer to over bubble too. When I first got the water/liverock into the system it was conditioned with Prime and the skimmer would bubble like nuts even at the lowest air setting so I had to leave it off. after about a week or so I turned it back on and I could adjust the skimmer bubbles better to collect in the cup.

I love all the ideas I'm getting here! Apreesh the help!
