Water change!

[RaceFaceR1]

What do you guys use for your water changes.

I mean to make it "easy". What do you put your water so you can put it the same as the water in you tank?

Looking for a little advise!

Thanks,



Marc

Not sure exactly what the question is, but I make sure it is the same specific gravity and roughly the same temperature. That's it!

Not understanding the syntax of the question, I think I understand the gist of it. It really depended (cuz I no longer perform w/c's) on whether it was my own tank or a customer's. Once I got to using it, I always used RealOceanTM, so no worries about anything other than matching temperature.

Before that I had two trash cans (the 33g ones) that I lined with black plastic trash bags (just plain old bags, no scent or anything like that - bad juju). Those had a powerhead dropped in 'em and were kept tightly covered in the garage. A day before I wanted to do a w/c, I'd put one of my submersible heaters into its handy-dandy PVC tube (otherwise it could melt the plastic) to bring it up to temperature. Then, I'd take a powerhead and pump some of the water into my 5g jugs (I bought some from Sparklett's, WITH the caps, they were great for using with customers) and do whatever change I wanted to.

To make it really easy, if you're not cheap like me, then buy a pump to do the changes (external pump would be the preference).

Does this answer your question?

I do it just like seamaiden but 15 gal at a time. It's not hard once you get a system down.

Yes it does answer my question... Sorry about not being specific enough in my question

I'll be better next time...

But thanks for your reply!
