Hey everyone
So now that my tank is cycled, i have another question before i add fish regarding water temperature when changing water. When i changed my water i filled my 20L jug with tap water (very cold) I poured 2L of that into a kettle and boiled it and poured it back in to raise the temp to closer to my tank temperature (but it was still a little colder). I didn't get too worried with it being that i have no fish, so needless to say, even with boiling some water the water in the tank did drop in temperature by 4 degrees. My question is, i need some formulas to figure out things like "if i have 'a' litres of water @ 'x' degrees, and I add 'b' litres of water @ 'y' degrees, then a+b = c litres at 'z' degrees." OR "if i have 'a' litres of water @ 'x' degress, how much water (b) at 'y' degrees do i have to add to make a+b = z degrees." I am sure i took some of this stuff in school some time, but damned if i can remember any of it. Just one formula is good, i can re-work it to find what i need (i remember that much! lol). Even a google search term would be great. Thanks James |
