arodidni - you're worrying about nothing, as previously stated as long as it's stored properly it will last indefinitely.


Awesome thread

Thanks Chris.

Great info! Wish I had read this before - I just bought a 10 lb container of Cloram-X - oh well, I know better for next time.

8 months in and I still have not finished the powder in a small hot-n-sour soup carry-out cup that I use to contain a small portion of the 4kg bucket that I bought... I'm sure I'm all set for several years out.

I used Cloram-X for years, but it is not nearly as cost effective as Seachem Safe.

As previously stated:

10 lb's of ClorAm-X will treat 37,588 gallons (2.1 mg/l chlorine, 3.2 mg/l chloramine) so even if I was overly generous & doubled the water volume based on 2mg/l (my local tap water level) of chloramine (actually it would only be treating for 1.6 mg/l) I would be looking at approx. 75,000 gallons vs. 400,000 gallons of water using the 4KG container of Seachem Safe.

That's quite a substantial difference ......
