yeah I probably write it wrong, but its close enough no?but I've tried it in my tank already and it works just fine, it maybe a wrong spelling word, but correct me if I'm wrong cause I am not familiar with that words.
That things that I bought is in crystallize shape and clear in color.

Well, by the definition, if you are putting this into your tank, you are adding chlorine.

Do you have a product that removes Sodium hypochlorite? If so, what is the brand name?

 

[GarNiac]

I am sorry the correct scientific name is SODIUM THIOSULFATE, my mistake,
cheers

Looks as though it might work for all intensive purposes, but some of the off-the-shelf water conditioners would work just as well. Any reason why you are wanting to use this instead?

the water quality in my house is really bad, it contains high amount of chlorine, so we cannot drink them. Most of the time I store the water over night or more just to remove the chlorine otherwise it will kill my fish instantly, and it happened once. So I though using sodium thiosulfate would safe me some time.
cheers

Prime is easy and does the same thing. Besides, by leaving water sit out, you're allowing chlorine to evaporate, but not doing anything for chloramine.

sodium thiosulphate is the active ingredient in most aquarium water conditioners to reduce (neutralize) chlorine.

you just bought the raw product thats all.
