Ok well i just went to my LFS yesterday around 6pm and got some DI water(5g) and put the salt in it etc. and i have it cycleing with a maxi jet power head and i started cycleing yesterday for about 30 min but then had to leave so i unpluged the power head (i have tubes running in the jug because the power head is to big to fit in the jug) and is this ok?? and i left it unpluged till tismorning and pluged it back in so it's been going for about 14hrs with salt in it but with the power head on it's been about 2hrs now and the water is clear and this is my first water change so how do i go about transfuring the water from the tank and adding the new freshly made DI saltwater?? and i know to syphon it or use a power head and pump the water but do i add slowly or can i just take the 5g out of my mian tank and the add the DI SW just like that?? and my fish/inverts are in my sig but i do have 1 snial(had 3, 2 died)
