Unless you are on well water (not treated with chlorine) then yes, you ought to add conditioner to the tank before the ammonia. The chlorine would probably break down and you'd start growing bacteria after awhile, but bacteria probably aren't going to be growing well while the chlorine is present. Amquel can have some undesired effects regarding ammonia test kits, I'd suggest something like Prime or a generic water conditioner that takes chlorine out. |
