Alternative to Water Conditioner?

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 .

let me check where i saw it........brb with that

but i do read that letting water rest would let the chlorine evaporate and then it would be ok for the fishies

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

More surface area= less time for chlorine to dissapate. A 1 gallon bucket might take overnight, but a 5 gallon bucket with the same surface area might take two days. Make sense? What kind of conditioners do you use? A bottle of wardley's chlor out is $2 and lasts a long time. Thats all you need is a chlorine remover.

It's a 1 gallon thing..
I don't remember the exact name of the stuff we bought, but it doesn't last long.

I've seen "betta conditioner". Basically, it's a small bottle that doesn't last long. I couldn't afford that stuff either!
