Water change with no conditioner!

[BloodThirsty]

Crap, just started a water change on my front tank, got it half empty and realized I was out of Prime! I gotta get the pump and heater running asap though......hopefully everything will be fine this one time......

HAHAHAHA, i think that this should be moved to the Lessons Learned section... never happened to me, lucky i age my water in a 120 that i dont know what to do with , soon to be a 90 gallon garbage can auto system. But man that sucks, your fish must have been pissed at you eh...

that is a good way to kill of your beneficial bacteria colony. Better keep an eye on your ammonia and nitrite levels over the next few days.

Sounds dangerous,with a smaller change I wouldnt worry but.....
good luck

Everything is fine this morning. This is my office tank so I was pretty worried over night. I will check the params later today.

One of the reasons I like having a well... and a faucet on the well that is *before* the home water softener...

Of course, my well is in the same aquifer that Ginnie Springs comes from, so its the same bottled water that Danon and quite a few others sell...

Ive been doing my wc without adding water conditioner for about half a year. Everythings fine. Dont know why, i guess i have low ammounts of crap in my drinking water.

I have a 26 gallon plastic tote that I use to age my water under my 125...
