    idk dano. heres what i do.
    i put the water in a plastic barrel up to temp first and have the pump running and the heater sometimes.i use cold and hot water at the same time. i dont have to age it, lucky me. also water conditioner.
    then drain the tank, till they atre swimming side ways a little, fill up the tank, the barrel never fills up the tank all the way so then i add some water staright from the tap. my fish never seem to stressed. when the job is all done the fish seem happier.
