Water changing question

[Mattiez]

Hmm. I never have a smell issue, but sometimes the rocks and inside of the bowls feel a lil slimely, so I just rinse them down with hot water and rub them with my hands or a towel. The water I use to refill the bowls gets de-chlorinating drops, and sits out for about 12 hours. Is it okay if the inside of the bowl is still a little wet with tap water from the rinse before I fill it with the safe water? I figure the drops I put into the safe water would still be able to counter-act the tiny bit of chlorine that may be present from the few drops of rinse water left. You guys think that's okay, or is it too much of a risk? Again, thanks for your opinions and advice!

Yes it's alright if it's wet from tap water. The "safe water" still contains the dechlorinator that you used in it before so it'll get any residue of chlorine/chloramine in the bowl. I would advise scrubbing the bowl every now and then - get yourself a small dish washing brush.

Awesome. That's basically what I figured but I just wanted to confirm it. Thanks guys. Like with my leopard baby, I'd rather be overly safe about every aspect than sorry.
