A little bit of nitrites/ammonia will not kill your fish, so any that builds up between appropriate water changes will 99% of the time cause no harm.
cupcake? LOL what about Chloramine? if your water doesnt contain Chloramine, then letting it stand for 24 hrs will remove a lot of chlorine and agitatig the water through an airpump or something will further increase chlorine leaving the water.whats your motivation here? saving money? i can understand that, but stop cutting so many corners!!!!Titanrushfrom your profile, you have x8 fish in a 10gallon tank with no filter and once a week water changesthats mad, how comes you dont understand the basics of fish keeping, why so stubborn about it? is it the money? or you just dont like to admit you doing it wrong?So the only way to show I care for my fish is to dump money into a test kit and dechlor? I'ved used undechlored water all my life with 0 problems from it, although i'm pretty sure I have very good water though...Also, ever heard of letting the water sit overnight to dechlor it? There are more ways to dechlor than just a stupid product cupcake.AND ANYONE THAT DOESNT USE DECHLORINATOR FOR WATER COMING OUT THE TAP (unless they got RO or some other filter) IS PLAIN DUMB, I MEAN THAT, COMPLETELY NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE REALITY OF FISH KEEPING, better off getting a good scren saver on their PC of a tank full of fish,i cant believe there are people out their who take so little interest in their fish's well being, if they trying to save money, i get a better idea SELL YOUR TANK, SELL YOUR FISH, THEN SELL YOURSELF

I have purchased filters for both my large tanks, my profile is from months ago, like 8 or something. Now I have a 40g filter on my 20g because it was overstocked, and a 10-20 on my 10 gallon african clawed frog (recently disconnected as it malfuncioned durring a power outage, and it bugged my frog so I'm not bothering to fix it...) Of course my betta does not get one, the tank is too small and it doesn't warrant a fitler (its a large jar)
Oh snap thanks for the support cheesey feet! Finally people are popping up supporiting another methods of fish keeping and not just 1 accepted method. Woo go go go don't be afraid to stand up for yourselves!I hardly ever use my test kit because I know all my tanks are stable.I do however randomly test each tank a couple of times a year.Once your tank is established there isn't much of a point in having one unless you have a random death.Also I too, as t1tanrush, use undechlorinated water.No problems atall there, ime the chlorine/chloramine is so little it obviously does not effect the filters....I really couldn't care, it works for t1tan.Saying statements like "i cant believe there are people out their who take so little interest in their fish's well being, if they trying to save money, i get a better idea SELL YOUR TANK, SELL YOUR FISH, THEN SELL YOURSELF
-will not solve anything.
Then why do you persist in posting!
