Seachem makes a product called "Stability" for preventing what's called "new tank syndrome". Which is basicly the tank cycling causeing fish added on day 1 die. This product however (and I'm sure there's others like it) prevent the ammonia spikes and other spikes caused when setting up a new tank allowing you to add fish on day one as long as you maintain the dose for at least a week. This can also be added at any time as a preventitive, or after water changes, it also helps the growth of beneficial bacteria.

I'm sure your friend was probably fine with your help. Although what the petstore guy suggested isn't wrong either.

I'm not sure why the outside water would have more chlorine but I was wondering where exactly you got it from,hose/faucet hookup?..

hose..

I've filled my tanks plenty of times with the hose,that water and the water that comes into the house via sink faucets all come from the same source.

Tell him to put the damned filter back on the tank.I'd feel some type of way also if I took the time to help set up his tank and he goes and seeks advice from someplace else...
