novice question
I have a new 54 gallon tank that has been up and running since March 4 with lots of plants and some fish….I need to do a partial water change but I’m a little wary…..I have an Eheim classic filter….do I just turn it off while I’m doing the water change; clean, check and empty the water from the filter also? What about the heater? If the water level goes down on the heater, will it harm it? Of course, I’ll turn it off while I’m changing the water. What about the water I need to add back in? I’m on a private well and my water is fine, but I’m concerned about the temperature of the added water - should I at least draw some water a day before the water change to let it get to room temperature? One more question - how many inches from the top of the aquarium is the usual depth for the spray bar to be mounted on the side? Sorry if these seem like silly concerns, but I’m sure once I do the water changes a couple of times it’ll be “no big deal”!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
