Heads up, many water utilities are using chloramine instead of chlorine. Chloramine doesn't gas off. It also combines poorly with some other common tank additives, causing the chloramine to bond...

I've used short flexible hoses between the faucet and faucet attachment, all sorts of alternate parts (theres a brand of these that are nearly plug and play parts wise, its green instead of gray) and...

The great benefit of living in the southwest where 95-105 temps 3-4 months out of the year are typical. You get hot water out of BOTH taps. :lol:
Mine isn't that far off the tanks temp and theres...

Worse still, since the knob below the faucet to change from drain to fill is hard to turn and the plastic faucet seal is the fulcrum of that pressure, so the part that screws onto the faucet will...

Doubling the recommended dosage (even with Safe) isn't going to make a noticeable difference to O2 levels. You'd have to "OD" a ton before it affected O2 levels enough that would affect fish. The...

Yeah, it's ridiculous. But I do keep my fish at 78F and I have not had any problems doing a 50% change in the middle of summer, it's just annoying. It was a problem when I used to keep more delicate...

Would this work after modifying the ends? I suspect it is much sturdier.

It is recommended to dose for your entire tank if adding water directly.
SAFE is a VERY concentrated form of Prime. Save a lot of money going this route, BUT I would only use for larger tanks....

You treat the amount of water you're replacing. I have an 80gal and do 50% water changes. I add between 1-2 of the little spoon scoops. I think 1 is the recommended dosage but a little more won't...

How much Prime (Safe) do you add? The required amount for the whole tank or just for the new 25% of water?

Your tap water comes out at 82F?!? :eek:
Wow.
In your case you can let it sit to cool slightly but it's only a few degrees higher than your tank most likely. If your tank is 78-79 degrees...

Yup.
Super annoying during summers for me. The pure cold tap comes in at 80-82F at times and I do not keep Discus.

I use something similar to what's pictured in this deal to refill from the tap but I'm not 100% if they function the same so I will describe mine. I have the valve open and in a cup in the sink...

No reason to let the water sit if you use Prime.
The point of letting the water sit uncovered overnight is so that chlorine (used to clean drinking water) in the tap water can evaporate off to...

Also, how do you guys use water straight from the tap during winters? Do you mix hot and cold so you get roughly 75 degree water?

I don't have this particular one, but a couple others. They make water changes and filling so much easier. No more lugging 5 gallon buckets around the house.
Seriously, if you are keeping fish in...
