Performing a water change
June 8, 2007 · Print This Article
Looking around on You Tube I found a video about performing a water change.
It’s quite a well done video, very well put together. There are a few things that I think should have been included in it for example the water is just poured into a bucket and is not heated up to temperature first. Of course you can perform a water change with cold water if you have a [tag-tec]large aquarium[/tag-tec] but if you have a [tag-tec]micro fish tank [/tag-tec]or [tag-tec]micro reef tank[/tag-tec] then I would not recommend it.
