Thanks! I'm ready to give out my mailing address to whom ever will provide it! lol
As for doing this right... well... that's usually not me. I'm usually the typical modern American, you know... Me, Me, Me, Now, Now, NOW! lol, but, I bumped into this forum (while playing Tycoon hehe) before revisiting my previous wants in the fish department. But, yeah, I'm very appreciative of this site. I'm glad tha even though it has such great and advanced info, it is presented as something for everyone to understand. Had I bumped into a site that was oriented fot the experienced enthusiast, I would have felt out of place and not bothered with the site. Here I feel so at home with everyone being so patient and kind. We're like a school of fishies. Some new fish, some older fish and a few that take the lead, but, we're all headed in the same direction.

Nope, you're not the typical American. The difference is that you recognize that you often think in terms of "me" and "now". 
I'm the same way. Often, even when I know about the potentially awful consequences, I take shortcuts. |

In my opinion, the store manager doesn't know much what he's talking about. It's commonly known that fish aren't good at dealing with big changes all at once, and over a month's time without cleaning the tank would get rather dirty. Weekly or bi-weekly water changes are recommended, 15-25%, more if you have a disease in the tank.

If you had to fire every incompetent fishstore manager, there wouldn't be a shop left to do business, LOL.

Tom means Chlorine/Chloramine remover. Basically, tap water often (in most places it does) contains chlorine and/or chloramine, and that can be toxic to the fish. So that is why we all use what is called water conditionners and treat tap water with it during water changes.
Good brands are EasyLife Crystal, Seachem Prime, and Amquel +.
