I am having all sorts of headaches everytime I do a water change.
My local fish store tells me not to use tap water and to premix the salt in another container first. If I cannot use tap water, what alternatives do I have?
He also mentioned he could sell me salt water in 5 gal. containers for 45 cents/gal., is this worth it?
If I do premix, how do I get the water into the tank considering the tank sits high, sucking-through-tube is fine when getting water out since it's on a decline, but getting it in doesn't work.
There's got to be an easier way to tackle my water changing methods, any suggestion?
