This works with any size tank, but for a 2.5 gal tank, it's not worth it. Water changes on that small of a tank is already easy enough with a big gulp.

These water changers are great! And this is an awesome price! I have a similar water changer called Python that I also got from Amazon but it’s around $40. These make cleaning my turtle tank a breeze!

U don't leave the faucet running. You only turn it on until the siphon is started.

This one is only 10 feet, I guess it depends on how long you need or what diameter you want.

If you're using a conditioner that works like Prime, as far as I know it reacts with water immediately so you have to add it after not before you fill it up. Otherwise it won't be as effective.

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...
