water changes any tips?
 

I have done several water changes and they have been...well cumbersome. I have a 180 gallon tank and I was thinking that someone must have come up with a better way to change water...so you get the same amount out as you put in.

I have a 60 gallon top up barrel that I have been using...and it is OK but it is a bit of work. Any tips??

Use the same sized containers. Put as much in as you take out.

Python and pump, I just put my magnet at the level I want to drain to, then refill. This works very well if you don't put the python in too deep and leave the room......... :lol:

i got from home depot the rubbermade gabage can and the bottom caster the heavy duty ones . i use 2 one full of my fresh water the outher to drain into . they rool around grait . i have a little sump pump that i use to fill the tank back up.

I empty 4 IO bucket's and then put 4 IO bucket's back in. Once a month. SIMPLE.
