I want to thank everyone who has helped me so far, all the information has been very helpful in getting me started.
I finally added 2 clowfish to my 26g bow front. I have 20lbs of live rock and an aquaclear 70 for filtration. I am trying to figure out now what is the best methods for adding water/performing water changes. Trying to gauge how others store the water, or premix and store.
Here is my plan as of now, appreciate any ways to improve and if anyway possible reduce amount of work needed.
I plan to use tap water, premix with salt and use a decholorinator. I was planning to let the water sit for about 3 days before adding to the tank. I will most likely store about 5 gallons at a time (in a bucket), which would be a 20% water change. The day before, I planned to stick a water heater in to get the water ready so the temp change won't shock the fish/tank.
Any ideas on how to store, or improve this process would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
Jason
