The best generic chlorine neutralizer is sodium thiosulfate. Several sources
exist for this in bulk for cheap. One is Jonah's Aquarium, operated by
NANFA's Mark Binkley in Ohio (www.jonahsaquarium.com ?). The other is
chemist and killifish keeper Charles Harrison who has added an aquarium
chemistry line to his excellent inkjet printer inks business in St. Louis,
at www.inkmkr.com/Fish (yes, inkmaker is intentionally misspelled). Either
place will sell you a large amount of sodium thiosulfate for very cheap.
