Changing water question
I have 2.5 gallon tank and in the setup instructions for it, it says that you have to wait 24 hours before putting the fish in after you put the chemicals to treat it. Do I have to wait 24 hours every time I change it?

Oh ok so whenever I do change the water I don't have to wait 24 hours?
Nope. Completely unnecessary. As long as you have added the proper dechlorinators to make the levels safe
Oh ok thanks for the help
