I'm wondering if these home water filtration devices will give you water that's safe for minnows. I've used the tablets that remove the chlorine from tap water, but there are units out there that sposed to remove the chlorine, too. Am I crazy?

I've been told by Jigflinger that the filtration systems for RVs can be had that remove the chlorine, but haven't looked into it yet. I'm sure it'd work though.
That'd be handy because you could put them on a hose to get the water where I need it.
Wannabe...
mr. wills, iwhen i need water for minnows, i just fill up my container and le it sit overnight, then put the minnows in the next morning.........never had a problem. sometimes, I use my aquarium chlorine remover, adding a few drops, which also works well. by the way, whats a good starting point for fishing bee this time of year, what part of the lake, thanks!
Yeah, kinda what I was thinking, WB. Thanks.
DH- this week-end will be a good starting point for fishes in Bee. I may hit'em Saturday or Monday, myself. Time to drag out the minnow gear and get to work. Getting low on freezer fish. Come on over and join me.
I use aquarium Florine eliminated also. I just set up a 100 gal water trough a few days ago. I just filled with water and let it sit 24 hrs and chunked in some minnows and they doing fine.
Do the same thing Duck n never had a problem. Thats what my mom used to do with my goldfish bowl as a kid
I will sell yall all the well water you can use.
Cray how many pounds of minnows can you keep alive in a 100 gallon trough? Do you have any type filtration system?Quote:

Use that green stuff the bait shop uses
i usually use the aquarium chlorine remover
That RV filter is the best way I've found. Just run your water when you need it. You don't have to wait for 24 hours for the chlorine gas to dissipate. And it removes a whole bunch of other chemicals as well.

Well water with the blue stuff kept 40dz alive in 100qt cooler for 5 days back in july... Kept water cool and circulated, no problems
Every water system is different. Where I live anything less than 24 hours is disastrous.

Mid lake has the best looking water right now. North West end is muddied up.Quote:
