it's a 10 gallon and i didn't fill it completely. I started it 2 weeks ago and have had the water i want to add to it inside a one gallon aquarium with an air filter in it. It's completely clean.

As long as it's about the same temperature of yout 10 gallon it would be no problem at all.

you can add the water to the aquarium. In fact that's the waythat you change water but first make sure the water is dechlorinated by using some water conditoner. You can find this at any pet store. Just make sure you heat asnall portion of it to warm it to the right temp or you will stress out your fish. Hope this helps.

Yes you can add water to the tank while the fish are in it. It is actually best not to change all of the water at once or to net your fish. Netting does damage to the scales and invites parasites. Changing all of the water at once shocks the fish.
Make sure the water that you add to the tank it already treated first i.e. dechlorinated and pH adjusted, salt added if the fish are salt water. Add the water slowly so that the fish wont get shocky.

Yes, you can add the water while the fish are in the tank. Make sure the water is at least room temperature though. Add AquaSafe or an eqivalant water conditioner if using tap water.

Yes you can add the water .Just make sure it isn't to cold and you treat it to remove chlorine first.Make sure you unplug every thing in the 10 Gallon before changing any water.

chlorine will leave the water after about 48 hours and it is safe to add to aquarium. u can also buy some dechlorinating chemicals whereby u just add a few drops and it makes the water safe instantaneously. happy fishing.

maybe you can dechlorinate the water.... put it in a bag.... put the bag in the aquarium for like 30 minutes to equal the temperatures and then you can release the water.... i dont think it will hurt your fish

You can used distilled water also or even bottled drinking water to use in your tank. But if not you will have to dechlorinate your water and make sure it is at room temp.
