When I do water changes ..
I pull out buckets fill them up ... use a thermometer to control the temp ... add water conditioner ... wait 5 mins and return.
BUT
I see people all the time taking uncontrolled water from the tap ... putting it right into the tank ... throwing in conditioner.
Surely the sudden temp change and large amounts of chemicals are not only bad for your fish but the bacteria too.
Am i right? I like to know when I am being over gentle to my fish.
