kettle to heat water for water changes?
Instead of using a heater to heat water for water changes, is it possible to use a kettle? Before you add the salt of course.
It would be a bit harder to get the exact temp correct, but it would take less time than waiting for hours for an aquarium heater. |
boiling water depletes the oxygen value of the water

You better waiting 24hrs anyways when making batches of WC water... Nothing happens quick in reefing...

Didn't think it would work, but wanted to check.
PS. What size container do you use to mix your salt water in? |
You could probably warm your water in a kettle, but you must be thinking rather small changes to be worth the effort.
What I use is a garbage pail, fill with ~100l of ro/di, toss in a heater and small PH, usually wait a day, add salt then a few days/week later do the actual change. |

How big is your tank? |
I am currently practicing on a 20g which will eventually become a quarantine for a 90g.
I have a nice 4g bucket which I currently mix water/salt in. (actually an icecream bucket from a local store) |
