Question by AirAla: If I leave "tap water" out for 24 hours, will the chlorine in it go away? I currently don't have any Aqua Safe or any dechlorinator for the water and i want to do a water change pretty soon, If I leave "tap water" out for 24 hours, will the chlorine in it go away??? Best answer for If I leave "tap water" out for 24 hours, will the chlorine in it go away?:

Answer by Sam
no that can hurt the fish you need to go to the store and get tetra care it has a liquid that makes tap water safe

Answer by fish man+
I think it would, but there are other chemicals in the water that will not go away over night, so I would get a water conditioner ASAP. Hope this helps!!

Answer by Aquella
Enough of the Chlorine will evaporate in 24 hours to make the water safe for fish. However, most city/town waters now contain Chloramine, which is very toxic to fish, which will not evaporate. Ever. You need to use a water conditioner.

Answer by John 21350
boil it and leave it to cool

Answer by Collin
no just buy some de-chlorinator stuff at the pet store its about 5 dollars i use it in all my tanks. i have friends who "age" their water to rid chlorine but they leave theirs out for 3 days. but i would still recommend to buy the chemicals instead

Answer by Georgie
How does chlorine affect fish? If you forgot to add your water conditioner would your fish succumb to the toxins in minutes, hours, days or just leave them susceptible to infection? damages gills, inhibits respritory functions, and affects kidneys, thereby reducing their ability to filter toxins from the blood. basically they die by blood poisoning/kidney failure or suffocation. i have heard a few times about people who forgot to add water treatment and later found their fish gasping for air at the surface. based on this information my guess would be short term immediate dangers are to gill function. longer termed exposure (at lower levels) would affect kidneys. so i think its best to go out and buy some fresh start thats what i used and my fish is fine and not dead go and get some before you put your fish in ASAP.!

Answer by Debjit
There r many de chlorinator available but the cheapest is to keep water in some storage place with an air pump running attached with air stone thus making bubble formation on water surface for at least 8-10 hrs, then to pour it to the main tank.

Answer by makatak123
yes i do that with all 9 of my fish tanks

Answer by ksilver
That works for chlorine, but not for chloramine, which is what most places use these days. It lasts a lot longer (2 weeks+). I take it you don't have access to a dechlorinator for a little while? It's better to hold off on the water change until you have access to a dechlorinator. Or buy spring water (not distilled, spring) from a grocery store.

[fornadablog.blogspot.com], Space shuttle Endeavour arrives at Forum ahead of schedule - Los Angeles Times

Despite crawling along at a speed of about 2 mph, the space shuttle Endeavour appears to be making good time on its journey home to the California Science Center.

The massive space vehicle pulled up to the Fourm in Inglewood around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, and was greeted by thousands gathered there to see it. It arrived more than an hour ahead of schedule, but Southern California Edison crew members said it will remain at the Fourm until 9:30 a.m. as planned. The crews cleared some transmission lines early and movers decided to proceed.

A celebration at the Forum, which includes music and some public speakers, was set to begin about 9 a.m.  

Officials are considering whether they can get the shuttle to the California Science Center before sunset, which occurs at 6:20 p.m. Saturday.

FULL COVERAGE: Endeavour's jaunt across L.A.

Shortly after 7 a.m., the shuttle rolled west of the Forum on Manchester Boulevard, as thousands gathered there cheered.

Sixteen-year-old Christina Hale jumped up and down, let out an excited scream and then grabbed her friend by the left arm to pull her toward the front of the crowd.

"Is that it? Is that it?" Hale said, pointing east down Manchester Boulevard.

Her friend shook her head. It was too early, she thought.

As the others in the crowd started to rumble, though, the girls realized Endevour was almost there.

As the shuttle crawled west on Manchester, crisp notes of "2001: A Space Odyssey" reverberated off people's chest and the asphalt. Some people smiled, others cheered, some stood silently.

Eric Castañeda heaved his 8-year-old son, also named Eric, onto his shoulders so he could get a better view.

"I see it and it's bigger than I ever imagined," the boy said, as he peered back and forth between Endeavour and the Lego shuttle he grasped in his left hand.

In his right hand: Flat Stanley, a man-shaped cut-out, crayon-colored piece of paper. As part of a school project, Eric has to show Flat Stanley cool things and take pictures together.

As Eric posed for a picture, his 5-year-old sister Emily bopped her head to the beat of "Men in Black."

Her dad smiled at her and then at his son.

"I've wanted to see one of these since I was your age," he said. "I'm going on two hours of sleep, but it was worth it."

As the shuttle passed in front of M&M Soul Food restaurant, owner Beverly Brinson was setting up chairs for customers.

"It's like a parade," Brinson said after the shuttle passed. A cadre of trucks was parked in front of her diner.

"Only in L.A.!" she shouted, dressed in her all-red uniform.

Brinson said she opened at 5 a.m. -- three hours early to catch business from the shuttle's viewers.

And for those that didn't enjoy breakfast at M&M, they could still sit in Brinson's makeshift viewing area.

They just had to pay $ 10.

Because the shuttle needs every millimeter of space for clearance, Los Angeles police said they planned to close most sidewalks along Saturday's route. However, officials said this week that some may be opened along the way for public viewing.

After crawling up Crenshaw Boulevard, the shuttle will reach Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza mall at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard around 2 p.m. A celebration is planned by choreographer Debbie Allen.

Public safety officials have said the area will accommodate a few thousand people at most, so those interested in seeing Endeavour should arrive early.

The final tricky move will be along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Pines planted in honor of the slain civil rights leader were deemed too significant to cut down, as many were along the transport route, and because the trees dot both sides of the roadway, the shuttle will pivot -- crab-like -- to avoid any mishaps.

"Don't think of the shuttle going nose-first down every street," said LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman. "That shuttle has the ability to zigzag and maneuver, and that's what you're going to see along that route. There may be places where the shuttle is going sideways at an angle."

The final chance to see the shuttle will be along Bill Robertson Lane as it approaches the science center's Samuel Oschin display pavilion in Exposition Park about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Police said four parking lots between Bill Robertson and Vermont Avenue will be available to the public.

However, officials were hoping that the shuttle could arrive ahead of schedule, before su nset, which occurs at 6:20 p.m.
