@Hazel: Wow that is the biggest container I've seen XD! A 1 should be fine, however I don't recommend putting a heater in it >_<... I'm glad he's feeling better!
@walle: It is fine to leave him in there during partial water changes. However you should add the conditioner to the water BEFORE you put the water into the tank he's in.
Haha, I think its from Kroger.. Lets see, maybe a baby spring mix? LOL, It is big! And no heaters in there, major melting time for sure!
Ug, and I just got the heater from Amazon (Ordered from there. ) that I'm going to use when he's out of QT and decided its 'water level must be this high' point was too high. Stink. So does anyone know how the Fluval 50 watt submersible heater does? That was the one on my backup list if this one didn't work out, which it doesn't.

So I take water out, put conditioner in, and put new water in? Thank you so much for your help!
Hmm, I have to use a cup (never been washed with soap, only hot water) to change his water since I live in a dorm and I can't carry his tank b/c I'm a weakling, so what do I do? The cup is 24 oz. Do I put enough conditioner for that much in each cupful before dumping it in his tank?

You can do one of two things, you can either put enough for the cupful, or put the full dose in. Generally you should put it before adding, so I would do it per cupful of water. Especially if you don't know the parameters of your water.

I generally make it a habit to wash anything and everything that enters my tank (unless otherwise noted). Wash it in a bowl instead of a strainer. To drain it, just decant the water from the bowl (similar to washing rice). Then maybe put a paper towel on top of the bowl and leave it somewhere to dry out completely.

I don't know how much bearing this has on fish, but when I kept my bearded dragon, his sand was always sterilized in the oven in a one to two inch layer on a cookie sheet to be sure it killed anything teeny and gross that might be creeping around in it.
