I'm presently using a much easier way to do the weekly water changes in my
tank. Instead of dealing with filling buckets of water I just use a garden hose siphon to take out about 50% of the water. Then I just connect the hose and add the water back in. I add a couple of capfuls of dechlorinator while I'm adding the water. I've never done this in the past fearing that the chlorine would still be present and kill my fish. The water temperature after the addition drops from 78F to 74F but the two heaters bring it back up within a few hours. It doesn't seem to affect my fish using this method and it's a whole lot easier than the bucket method. Anybody else use this technique? Comments? |
