Just getting back into the hobby. Recently set up a 55g planted tank. I am looking for advice or tips from those with experience as to the best way to make water changes. It's not getting the water out of the tank that is a problem. I am looking for tips on: 1. getting the water into the tank without making a mess. 2. How to best prepare the water prior to the day or time of change. Previously I filled up a rubbermaid trash can a day or so prior to the changing 3. I am concerned about the water temp as it is introduced to the tank and the potential shock to the fish. Could/should I mix that with some warm water prior to going in? Any advice will be much appreciated.
