Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie to the hobby. I am in week 7 of a fish-in cycle of a 37g. I am sick of hauling buckets! lol
I was going to get a python but have recently discovered that my water quality isn't good enough to put straight into the tank. I have to let it sit for a day. (Yes I used decholrinator in both methods). My fish got ich when I started using temp matched water that didn't sit for the day. That was the only different thing I did.
So I want a system that will suck the water out of the tank into the bath tub (about 20 feet away) and pump the new water into the tank from buckets that sit in the tub. I was thinking of using a vaccum pump but as the water would go through the pump I worry about oil contamination.
Does anyone have or know of another system other than a python?
Thanks for any advice!
