You could do that, but not all of the contaminants evapoporate from the water. So, the chlorine will be gone, but there are still lots of other bad things in the water that are not good. I've read that if you want to make it completely safe, it's gotta sit out like a month, but not sure on that one

If just pick up a bottle of Prime. It's probably a lot better for the fish.

Letting water sit for a month isn't a viable option IMO, say you need to do a rapid water change? Can't put that off for a month LOL!!

I'd say invest in seachem Prime or something similar, it saves so much effort and you don't have to worry

Id get prime. I have 3 5g jugs that I let sit in my room. I have bubbles going in all 3 to airate the water. I get really bad with changes sometimes and it sits for awhile.
