Can you do a water change when under a boil advisory?

I would have to say no, you shouldn't put your fish in boiling water.

also, if there are nitrates in your water, boiling it will concentrate the nitrates and make them more toxic to your fish

what about collecting snow/rainwater in your part? would that be clean enough to do a water change though?

If it ends up being an emergency, you could always go buy a few
five gallon jugs of spring water to do a small waterchange.

Yeah that's always possible but we are doing good for now I moved my other FX5 to my main tank since I'm not using the other tank anymore. so I have the added bio from that filter to help.

did not know that.

Wouldn't work we don't have enough rain/snow here to do a WC with and I would have to store the water in something until it got back to at least room temp.
