Is it safe to use tap water in my fish tanks?

It is safe if you first check the chlorine level with a chlorine test kit purchased at pet or pool supply stores. Most people let the water stand overnight uncovered before putting it into the tank or fish into the water. This allows the chlorine in the water to dissipate. Check with your pet store for further details about acceptable chlorine levels for your fish.
