WC with old water?

CoRPS · 09/13/2009, 02:56 PM

I bought some water to do a water change about 3-4 days ago and haven't had a chance to do it yet. Should I be worried about using the water? I have no extra pump to put in there to mix it up but I could put a heater into it. Please let me know!

I wouldn't worry about it if it's been in a closed container. Would be good idea to get it somewhere near the temperature of the tank if it's been kept someplace cold.
