    Chlorine Evaporation

    I found a forum while researching yesterday that had a formula for it. It involved gallons of water, container size/capacity, air quilty in room, aeration?, movement, temperature and about 10 other variables. The formula was extremely intense and detailed. There are way too many things that interfere with evap and chlorine molecule breakdown.

    Hahah yeah I'm not surprised it's complicated.
    I guess I would probably err on the side of caution for me personally and would have a powerhead in there and leave it for 24 hours uncovered in a well ventilated room to try and make sure all the chlorine is out. Unless someone can convince me that that is an absurd amount of overkill.
