I did my first ever SW water change

it was stressful but I did not give up. The water temp dropped fast but I saved it with some hot water with the same Specific gravity.

You can put a small heater in a five gallon bucket with a powerhead to mix it up, match the same s.g. and temperature to save the hassle.

Congratulations though
