filling tank with garden hose

[fishgutz]

I want to quickly fill my 180 to test for level. I was wondering if the cold water from my garden hose would be a problem? Anyone else use this method?

ive done it before. not for settinng up the tank but for a leak test it should be fine. i doubt the water in your hose is anywhere near cold enough do do any harm. can it even get that cold without freezing first? hmmm...

Garden hose worked great for me - 2 times so far.

I have used that method a few times with no problems.
