Through electrolysis. Have a 9V battery with probes attached on hand, and use a blowtorch or the highest temperature on your stove to melt the salt. Then, put the probes in the molten salt, and make sure you don't breath in the fumes it gives off (chlorine gas will kill you). You're left with pure sodium, which makes for some great pranks involving water. ;)

Contrary to [un]popular belief, refining Sodium Chloride into Sodium is in fact dechlorination, because the chlorine is completely removed from the molecule.

Can you dechlorinate your aquarium with hydrogen peroxide?

NO! Hydrogen peroxide will poison your fish. If you go to a pet store they willl have the proper water treatment for your tank. This neutralises all the things in tapwater that are harmful to fish (such as chloramine, ammonia and heavy metals - it's not just chlorine that is bad for them). If you know exactly what is in your local water supply and have a very good understanding of water chemistry, you can use pure crystals of sodium thiosulfate to dechlorinate the water. This is the chemical mixed in most commercial water treatments to remove the chlorine.


Do you still need to put conditioner in the tank for a betta fish with filter already?

Yes, definitely. The conditioner not only keeps your water quality great, but it also dechlorinates the water, which is necessary for any fish to survive. If you are using distilled water, then you do not have to dechlorinate it, but if your water is from the tap or is chlorinated, then you must dechlorinate it. Also, a quick word of advice: Check to see if your conditioner also removes chloramine! Chloramine is toxic to fish, and some water conditioners do not remove it. Only purchase the best water conditioner.
