    Alternative to Water Conditioner?

    Isn't there like a way you can remove the chemicals out of tap water by letting it sit for 24 hours or something? Water conditioner is just so expensive..

    I don't know about letting the tanks sit to be honest but I'm interested to find out.

    If I remember it's something like letting the water sit for 24 hours and all the chemicals dissolve? Maybe I'm wrong.. I can't remember too well lately .

    Yeah, that's it! I just need to know for how long, since I have to change Cabaret's tank in a bit, and I put some water out to sit yesterday..

    There are more concentrated types. When you go to buy more read the back. Look for the ones that only use a few drops. I have big tanks and it doesn't cost me that much. When I go home I'll try to remember to see what brand I use.

    That's what I've heard, but I just find Water cond. a pain in the butt altogether
