Alternative to Water Conditioner?

That's how we always did it-- we'd let it sit for at least 24 hours (usually longer) and that takes the chlorine out.

The conditioner made by Seachem lasts forever!

I use the one made by Hagen. It's most popular here and I can get it in a pump-ready container for pretty cheap. Even those large bottles last a couple months around here. I usually have around 30 bettas and it only costs a couple bucks a month

Unless you have awesome water, you're likely to have lots of hard metals along with chlorine in your tap. A good dechlorinator removes dangerous metals & completely removes chlorine. I use Amquel & Novaqua, and age the water at least 24 hours.

Next time I make a journey to Petsmart if they had it I was going to use Novaqua.. Why do you use Amquel, too? Does Novaqua not remove everything or something? I need more jugs to age water with, since I only have one right now.
