ClorAm-X before cycling

[Dan Lieder]

Hello,

I am getting ready to do a fish less cycle on my new system. 

• 300 gallon fish tank
• 275 gallon  sump
• 6 - 135 gallon grow beds (before adding gravel)

My city water is treated with Chloramine. I purchased some ClorAm-X® but I'm hesitant to use it because of all the negative comments/concerns I've read on various sites.

1. Does anyone have any experience using this stuff?
2. What were the results?
3. When do I use it if I were to use it?
4. And finally, how do I use it? The directions on the container are confusing and not very clear. 

Thanks,

Dan
