How I Get Warm Water for Water Changes (No Buckets!) + Easy Alternatives

???? How to Mix Hot and Cold Water for Aquarium Water Changes (No Buckets!)

Tired of freezing your hands and shocking your fish during water changes? In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I mix hot and cold water using a simple Y-hose adapter setup on my slop sink to get warm water flowing straight from a garden hose into my aquariums.

But don’t worry, if you don’t have a slop sink, I also cover alternative methods you can use to get the same results. Whether you’re doing a water change on a freshwater tank or a saltwater aquarium, matching water temperature is key to keeping your fish healthy and stress-free.

Plus, I go over why I always use a water conditioner like Seachem Prime or Seachem Safe when using tap water, and yes, it’s totally safe to dose directly into the tank while it’s filling.
