How and why to age aquarium water

[perea1419]

Hello everyone I was on YouTube and I was looking for a video on how to age water but there aren't any, so I have decided to make one. If any one has any input I will add it to the video. When the video is done I will post it here . Thanks

Aging Water
Ardan Huck July 7, 2002


"Aging water in a holding tank or rubber garbage can for 24 hours with aeration and heating to a temperature the same as the aquarium is done to stabilize the pH, thus providing stable water for use during water changes. Pumps can be used to facilitate the process."


"Age water, that is, put the water that you want to use for the aquarium in a barrel a day before you want to use it for water changes. Use good aeration and set a heater at the tank temperature in the barrel. This is done if the pH of the tap water is not stable (if you check pH out of the tap, then let the water sit overnight and check the pH again and its different)."
