Using water from a water change to aid in filling a new tank?

[Meanmrmustard]

My water is expensive here, rather than dump the water from a water change down the drain can I use it to fill my new tank in addition to making new water?

 

[Gregg @ ADP]

Sure. Why not?

 

[cilyjr]

Yup.

 

[Marquarium]

That's what I've done for all my tanks (except the first 1 of course)

Yeppers! I actually take water from a water change and a sponge from my sump to fill my qt/hospital tank when I need it up and running.

This is absolutely a great way to save. The only addition I have, is do not do it if there is any chance you have parasites like ich and velvet in you DT. You will bring them across.
