Tank Siphon

Tank Siphon
WE bought a fance tank siphon do we still need a bucket?

We bought a fancy siphon that goes straight from our sink to the tank and back. Can we just have tap water go straight into the tank and then dechlorinate it or do we still need a bucket that dechlorinates the water? We have freshwater tropical fish. Thanks in advance

I have the same setup. What I do is put in the dechlorinator (Stress Coat from API) into the tank first, usually double the recommended amount, and then wait ten minutes so it mixes in. Then I put the tap water directly into the tank. I run the water in slow and I usually only do small (15%) water changes. This has worked well for me, even with a few sensitive fish (black ghost knife is probably the most sensitive).

This is not the ideal method. Preferably you should dechlorinate the water first in a bucket. But it works well for me.
