I use sodium thiosulphate for dechlorinating. It works very well. If you mix 60 grams into a total volume of 500 mL of RO/DI water then 1 mL of sodium thiosulphate solution will dechlorinate 1 mL of 5.5% household bleach (check the label for concentration as some have changed to 8.5%). Chlorine strips for pools are cheap and can confirm, but this recipe works fine.

When using tank transfers, does the fish go into the display at the end or into QT for observation?[/quote]

Into the display provided all is good and they are eating well.

I buy it from www.florida-aqua-farms.com although I imagine it can be bought on Amazon or such.
