Im about to start up at new Juwel Vision 260 planted tank and Im planning to place a plastic container in the aquarium cubboard and put a pump and a heater in it, and use this for doing water changes. I receive the tap water from several different water sources, hence have to expect different levels of water quality. Im also of the impression that its a good idea only to use cold tap water (which ofcause will necessitate subsequent heating) - but this assumption may be dead wrong ?
Anyway, for these reasons I intend to set up a water changing scheme where I will fill the container with tap water, heat it and measure it - and possibly add minerals or do other stuff to change water parametres before pumping the water from the container into the aquarium.
Again - if this scheme seems unnecessary/pointless - please comment
Considering this pump:
Upettools Submersible Water Pump, Ultra Silence Circulation Multifunctional Water Pump with Handle For Pond, Aquarium, Hydroponics, Fish Tank Fountain with 4.6ft (1.4M) Power Cord(220GPH,25W) …lift height is 2 m.
Anyone had experice with this pump or similar ?
How do you perform water changes - just a hose with temperated water directly from the watertap?
