For water changes, how far away from your tank is your water storage area? Every system is different, but if you have a bathtub or better yet a laundry tub you can drain the tank into that's my go-to. Then for refill use a 3/4" hose and a big pump. If you can use the pump for mixing and use ball valves to switch it from recirculating to tank delivery that's the bomb. I also like to make use of quick connects for hoses for ease of use.
LOL no all the tangs will be QT in a temporary tank. I have a brand new 75 sitting under my stand empty that will be used for bigger fish.

The Nuvos are amazing and they will come in handy when I run into issues.
I will have them running all the time so will have better options when something goes wrong. One of the 10g will be a frag tank... Well that is the plan right now. I also find myself buying small fish I don't know why but just seems to happen that way.

As for the water changes I use pumps and brute trash cans. I have one for mixing saltwater and one for the old saltwater to go into. They have the dolly's on them so makes it easy to move. I was looking at two 100 gallon tubs for a saltwater mixing station but just do not see the need.
