Water Change

This is how I currently do my water changes for the main display tank:

Equipments:
-Aqueon Water Changer
-10gal container glued on a dolly
-heater
-airstone
-Prime (water conditioner)
-Eheim Water Pump 1000 connected to a 5ft 5/8 hose

PREPARING TAP WATER
1. Filling the 10gal container with tap water from the sink using the Aqueon water changer.
2. Put in enough Prime for 10 gal of tap water
3. Use an air stone to keep the water aerated
4. Have a heater in the barrel, but only turn it on the night before the water change.
5. Let the water age for at least 24 hours.
