How to do Water Changes EASIER / QUICKER | Hygger Water Changer Review + Mods

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Hey nano nation! I've received many questions on the setup I use to do water changes for my tanks. Due to the multiple requests, I figured it'd be better to dedicate a full video to it. In this video, I show you a cheaper alternative to the no spill Python water changing kit. I would even argue this is better in some ways. I also sprinkled in a few of my own modifications to make this setup perfect, at least for my needs. Hope this helps!

They have helped tremendously and have to say thanks for being here to remind me & to school me!!! I appreciate you!!! BTW, I have always loved Betta fish, yes, my love of Betta's!!! ❤️ I've always had at least one male throughout my life. I have had 5 for the longest time... more than 5 yrs... two if not three are at least 6 yes old & they are BEAUTIFUL!!! Now, there are 12, male & female, in-house just within the last few weeks!!! THANKS AGAIN for your willingness to share 😊

    depends on the height of the tank. if it’s above the level of the draining point, you can turn off the water once it starts siphoning and let gravity do the work

    This is going to sound idiotic, but I have been searching for this answer all day! I inherited a sick betta that was shipped to GA from CA and was on the third day of a fast from SBD when he was given to me. He's been here for about two weeks. I was given NOTHING except the fish, some filters for the little tank it's in, a bottle of Betta Min flakes, and two bottles of water conditioner. I don't even know how many gallons of water the tank holds. Now that he's eating again, I bought him some Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets (which he immediately spit out) then I ordered some shrimp patties (also pellets) which he loves. Tonight I ordered NorthFin Betta Bits, Fluval Bug Bites, and some Tetra brand Dried Blood Worms. I hope he lives long enough to try the new food I got him.

    Part 2: I've been binge-watching your videos, but anyone knowledgeable can answer. this. His water has got to be totally wrong for him at this point. I want to order the Hygger kit plus the adapters you recommend as needed, but here is my main question: Doesn't the water come out of the tap loaded with chlorine? Don't I need to treat that water before I subject my recovering betta to it?

    Part 3: I treated a quart of tap water with the conditioner I was given, but I don't have a thermometer to make sure it's 78 - 80 degrees. I'll get Prime conditioner and a proper thermometer as soon as I can, but he needs everything ASAP. I have a candy thermometer, a meat thermometer, and a people thermometer... will any of those work? I'd like to save him, if possible.
