35. How do I know if I have chlorine or chloramines in my water?

If you have municipal water you most certainly have one or the other. Both are used to kill any bacteria in the water. Call your water agency to find out. The only real difference for our purpose is that chlorine evaporates faster than does chloramine. Both need to be treated with a chlorine remover before fish are put in the water and when there is a water change. If you use a garden hose to rinse the sand in your filter, you will kill the bacteria and need to start anew
