Is there anything I can do in advance to prepare the water I am going to exchange for my tank?
For example given that my tap water is chlorinated and basic and I will be changing 9L weekly can I prepare my next 9L in advance - using a bucket into which I add the dechlorinator, pH down and say the 5 in 1 conditioner, then drop an air stone into it and let it run for the week prior? What about using boiled water?
Then all I would have to do is get the water up to temp prior to adding it on the chage day.
If so how would I ensure that the water was properly prepared and not going to go off or something?
I feel that some advance preparation will save time and make the process much smoother and even more effective.
