How do you put back water in the tank?

[aznkidang]

In a water change you take the dirty stuff out and how do you put the clean water back in?

Mine tank is 4 1/2 feet and its a pain to pour water in a pail.
Any ideas ?

Depending on where you are from and how your water is delivered to you. In NYC, our water needed to be treated before adding. I am not a big fan of using anything unless I have to..so I just let the new water sit aside for a day then add it.

You need to get a Python water hose. It attaches to your sink to allow you to siphon out bad water and replace with clean. There aer various attachments but even with a bigger siphon they should be $30 or less.

Yeah, obviously get some Prime or other dechlorinator

I can't believe I was doing 50% x 2 a week on my 75 gallon without a python. When I upgraded to 125, I felt a Python was a must. Now water changes is so painless.
