Default 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
