    What product out in stores would be best to use to remove the chlorine in tap water???

    how about this?
    Wardley Corp Essentials Chlorine Out 4 Ounces - 00938

    Or maybe this method??

    Any of the products sold for making tap water safe for aquariums will be fine - they are all nearly identical.

    This only takes care of dissolved chlorine in the absence of ammonia. It does not work well on chloramines and it doesn't do anything about metals in the water, like copper.

    I just give it a squirt. Personally, I don't spray tap water as it contains minerals that will build up on your glass. I use it in the water bowls, but not in the misters. Use distilled water for misting, tap for soaking.

    The problem is the frogs sit in their water bowl which is filled with tap water then during the night they leave foot prints all over the glass. I tell them to stop but they don't listen.
