Chlorime...great.

Well, I was researching online to see what my city (VA Beach) uses for their water utilities. It seems that chlorine is unstable and can ecscape easily. Well, good for me because it won't be a problem changing my water. BUT recently on June 6th of this year, they changed their chlorine which kills like bacteria in pipes and all to Chlormine which is more stable and higher level or somethin like that. WHat should I dO!?? Im planning to clear my tank out today too..

Get some de-chlorime

I am assuming you mean chloramine, which is a conjoined chlorine-ammonia molecule.

If this is the case, most of the available chemical dechlorinators will also get rid of chloramine. Make sure to read the bottles carefully If you are using dechlorinator (you may not be), it may already dechloraminate tap water, and you won't experience a problem.

I use Prime by Seachem and it removes Chlorine, Chloramine, Ammonia. It also Detoxifies Nitrite and Nitrate. Plus it provides a slime coat. Don't know what else a water conditioner could do?

Must be expensive.

I was going to buy some Prime today, and plan on doing it next time I need new dechloraminator. It seems like it works miracles, I'm surprised it couldn't bring me breakfast in bed, it seemed so damn productive.

Also, it wasn't really much more expensive than the other brands of water treatments, including the one which I've got (which the salesperson told me to get) which only gets rid of chlorine.

I use Wardley's ChlorOut... it removes chlorine and chloramines. I occasionally use Stress Coat/Zyme in my tanks to replace slime coat, etc.
