Recommended Dechlorinator?

Are there any dechlorinators that do not cause your skimmer to foam over?

I run tapwater and want to do a larger than normal water change.

Thanks in advance for your experience.

i use prime by sea chem and no more problems i believe it is because of the additives in the nutrafin stuff slime coat or stress coat whatever you want to call it.

...I think a sterilizer just kills (well, "sterilizes" - makes them unable to reproduce) germs, it doesn't remove chlorine. If you let the water sit for 24 hours (which you do when it's mixing anyhow) the chlorine comes out on it's own. no?
