Tizer - One More Question

[Marto666]

After moving my tank and filling with water, to get my tank temp up to 24/25c so I can put the fish back in, is it ok to use hot water from the tap?

Thanks

Thanks bae1994 - thankfully I have have a combi boiler should be ok

I dont have a combi and i still use hotwater from the tank, i even do this in with my 100 strong cherry shrimp tank and have no problems despite the copper worry factor.

as long as you're using de-chlor, you should be OK whatever you use. The dechlor with bind metals.

Slitly off top, how long do people let the tap water de-chlor mix before adding the tank?

I usally fill a 20l bucket stir with a wooden spoon add de-chlor make a brew and add it

That's fine. I don't even wait that long!

 

[bae1994]

i add the amount to the bucket or tank then pour it in

Tomorrow I am dechlorinating a whole tank for about 10 mins before adding the fish (buying and fully working second hand tank and relocating it).

As long as the filter stays moist in the transit I should be ok apparently.
