We bought a python (think that's the brand) siphen for water changes for our 20 gallon tank. It hooks up to the faucet and tap water goes directly into the tank. This was fine when we started it up a week ago because we had time to declorinate it and all before we put the fish in. I'm curious if it's recommended for when we start water changes (third of the tank). The lady we bought it from said that straight tap water would be OK as long as we put Stress Coat in there as soon as we put it in the tank. I'm wondering if this will off set the water hardness, PH, etc. Our tap water PH is about 7.6 - which we're currently keeping the tank at. Would it be better just to fill up buckets and condition the water before putting it in?
