Taking Out The Chlorine.

[ScalpCrabs]

I have recently ran out of money for the next week or two and therefor cannot buy anymore of the product to de-chlorinate the water. I have a fluval chi and alot of water evaporates every night so i have to top it off every morning (about 500ml). because i ran out of the product and will not be able to purchase any i was wondering what can i do to the tap water to less harm the tank. Its a fresh water tank that has been cycled and has one beta in it. sorry if the question sounds kinda stupid.

If you leave your water in a container for 72 hours it will be safe to use. 
 
It may well take less time, 48 hours maybe, but I know for sure 72 will make it safe. Keeping it in sun light speeds it up, but again I'm not entirely clear on it.
 
Don't worry though. It's resolvable

Thank you!!! I was very worried that I was going to harm my fish.

I had one of these tanks. It was a nightmare to keep under control. I believe that after 24 hours the water is safe, but longer is better. You can always go to your LFS and see if they could give you samples. It's worth a shot.

I've already checked and they don't, but thanks for the suggestion.

i use sodium thiosulphate which is super cheap look it up.
for under £5i can treat 1000's of litres of water.

Try writing on kijiji if someone has any dechlorinator left after giving up the hobby.....or someone willing to give you some of theirs!
