Sorry, Aqua Vac is a vacuum that attaches directly to the tap (haven't been vacuuming just using to remove/add water at this point).
I have been using this for a few years now BUT the tanks were cycled. Add the dechlorinator, then turn on the tap. I even checked my other 29 gallon the other day for ammonia and it was 0. But do you think that's what could be making the difference, this tank IS NOT cycled???
Ok, so it's been a long time since I used buckets or jugs for water changes. Only 4 gallon jug with dechlorinator added for top ups.
I have 3 buckets that are only used for the fish tanks. They hold 9l/2 gallons. So, I will just use the small vac to take the water out (also to judge how much I need to take out this way :-?, any suggestions???????? ). Once I remove the water, I can refill the bucket (s) and add the dechlorinator. Leave it/them sit for about 5 minutes then add. Does this all make sense :dunno:
Thanks again!
