   I’ve heard that some cities use chlorides, and not straight chlorine, and that they do not evaporate.

   I am not too sure, and will defer to more experienced opinions.

   Worked with fish for 5 summers

   just go to petco and buy some stability, let it run for like 12-24 hours and than you can put fish in but dont forget to put new water in there every week.

   When I was little I did not cycle my triops and they were fine, but of course I was very young. And since they are not fish I would not know.
