    Some advice with the W/C. Get a pump if you don't have one. And an extra heater.

    Set the heater to the same as your tank and drop it and the pump in the bucket and let it mix overnight. The next day, you can use the pump to pull water out of the tank and then to put it back in, should lessen the amount of stuff you kick up and disturb. This way you are putting water that is the same salinity and temp, and you are giving it time to ph balance.

    The easier it is to do, the more likely you are to do it.
