If you are treating with copper, yes. RO is necessary.
So then only way of controlling ammonia in my QT would be water changes? Or can i iue seachem safe with with copper power.
All dechlorinators are out? Does that mean that anyone who uses a salt mix containing thiosulfate can't use chelated copper?
Here's another thought fellas. Since prime/safe stays active for appx 48hrs. Whats your thought about aged tap water? Basically. Tap water + safe/prime + salt mix + 48hrs ageing.. And then doing a water change.
Sorry, but I'll save money and time by doing this if its a possibility. Again. This is just for QT.

Which salt brand are you using? I haven't heard of any salts containing thiosulfate. Is it sodium thiosulfate? It really depends on the amount used in the salt and pH of the water.
If it's a small amount, it should react a lot slower and need more time for dechlorination vs something like Prime. I think you would be OK, but this could be a huge issue. Can you find out the exact amount of thiosulfate?
IO. This link claims many salt mixes contain thiosulfate: https://reefs.com/magazine/evaluating-synthetic-sea-salts/
I'd just like to know if all dechlorinators are a problem and, if so, why they're a problem.
