I drain the water in a bucket and then fill the bucket back up with water from the tap, dechlorinate it and pour it back in the tank. I use my tank thermometer to get the temp right. I don't mind lugging the buckets because it's helping me get strength back in my arms ! (had a tear in my shoulder....)

A good way is to put water in bottles, add the conditioner and then store it for wen u need to do another water change :shifty:

need a more detailed version now tho cos as you can see. dump straight in is the very short version of the story.

i want to kno how many people heat the water there putting in or jus use a hose to pipe it in slowly.

i was gonna do a bit of an experiment with my 4ft tank by taking the water out and then jus running the hose straight bak into the tank and turning it on slowly.

i want to kno if the hose IS run slowly, will the heaters keep up with the cold water being pumped in or will the temp drop loads....

I use a python and treat the water as it is added to the tank. I have discus and I've never had any problems.

For my Flower Horns. I siphon like 30 - 50% of the water from the tank and dump the water in directly to the tank. No anti chlorine or anything.

My Bettas get the same treament.
