Hi everyone. I've been doing a lot of water changes lately trying to do an in fish cycle with my 28gal. I thought I was doing it right but I've been doing some reading and have read some conflicting facts. This is what I've been doing.
I have a python water changer that hooks up to my sink and uses pressure to siphon water out of the tank. Then I switch the python over to fill mode and refill my tank with the tap water. (testing the temperature ahead of time) I then immediately add API Stress Coat to dechloirnate the water.
I've read some articles that say to let the water sit in a bucket overnight or to dechlorinate it before adding it to the tank. My problem is I've been doing daily 50% pwc and there's no way I have enough buckets to hold 14 gallons of water. There's also no way I can let it sit overnight because I have dogs and they'd probably drink it.
