Good luck, Cari, I have seen advertised this water change hoses that connect
to the tap.
I wondered about putting tap water directly into the tank before treating
with something to
remove the toxins. My tank is a good 75 feet from a water source so it is
out of the question
for me as it would be very expensive and my tank is only a 29 gallon. The
sets I have seen are
around $80 for a 25 foot length set.

I have a vacuum with a hand pump in the tubing. Love it so much more than
the vacs without it. I used to have to do the "plug the end of the hose and
fill with water from the tank, then lower the plugged end into a bucket
lower than the tank and let it go". Sometimes that worked and sometimes it
didn't. I had tank water in my mouth before years ago from trying to get the
water flow started. Nasty stuff. Glad you are better, take care.

Ya,they all kinda wanted to laugh.Like how in hell or why would you swallow
fish tank water ? My husband still jokes about it.Till he see the bill.I
think I'm fine.But have to recheck my blood in a month.It was really bad
experience for me.
I here turkey baster works.??going to try.But normal syphon will not work
with tiny frys.Thank you Cari.

Omg! Are you ok? Were they surprised in the ER how you got sick, or do they
see that all the time? Can you syphon with some other device other than you,
lol!!! I'm no breeder, but I am a nurse. I would probably have to privately
laugh if a patient told me they swallowed fish tank water. Grin. Hope you
are ok.
