Re: [APD] Microwaving water for water changes a bad thing?

["D. Noal" <davidnoal at gmail_com>]

I use Amquel all the time for water changes. I haven't had problems with it. 

As for the temp I prefer to leave the water sit until room
temperature. I definately wouldn't use any water from the hot water
tank in the house for the aquarium. In a pinch, I think warming it on
the stove or in the microwave would be fine. The best IMO is to leave
it sit somewhere safe (where the kids wont toss stuff in and the dog
wont drink from it) till it gets to room temp.
