Hello there.

I was wondering how I should go about going from regular tap water treating with API stress coat plus (I use the python method and dose the whole tank) to using RO/DI filtered water treating with kent freshwater buffer? Should I just do a massive PWC taking to fish out and replace them after the change or is there anyway to do it slowly? Also how do you treat the water with the buffers? I was thinking I might change with water with the python then mix the buffer solution in a bucket and add that to the tank and refilling it with the python. (RO/DI filter wi be going on the sink faucet if we can ever get it working right. So I would still just use the python for PWC).
 
Ok so just sort of do it with the PWC? And add the amount of buffer needed for the amount removed? Should I just add the buffer to the tank or mix in a pitcher and add that to the tank?
