First you use RODI or tap water? if tap water did u dechlorine the water ?

Is your salinity wc and tank same ?

There could be lots of reason thus may be i give ur water para and wc para to compare

If your dechlorinator is sodium thiosulphate based (which most of them are in the first place), then it shouldn't take more than 5 mins to dechlorinate. But if the dechlorinator contains only sodium thiosulphate and nothing else, this would only remove the chlorine part in the chloramines and ammonia will be left behind. More time is then required to remove the ammonia. So really, depends on the type of dechlorinator you're using. However, since you said you're using kent marine's detox, I would be inclined to think that 12 hours is more than enough to remove both chlorine and chloramines. Not sure what any additional time is supposed to do.

For my own experience the dechlorine took less than 5 min and i start mix salt and perform water change later. Btw i am using prime.

The one time that i have some condition is the sequence. I fill the pail with tap water, add prime to de chlorine. Notice water not enough so i add tap water again. Fish behave weird , hide in behind and bottom tank, i direct put prime into tank and fish normal again. Just my own experience
