[Natadactyl]

Do i need a powerhead to do a weekly 5 gallon water change to my 75 gallon tank! I want to do a smaller one once a week for my lobster larry and havent yet done one as i just got him! Any advice??? Thank you in advance! I dont have room for a station as i know that would be the best option! Justwanna know the best way for 5 gallons at a time! Not worried about more work lol

I mix mine overnight and heat it to 74°

Use the pump or powerhead itself as the mixer.

Amazon searh:

PULACO 400GPH or​

VIVOSUN 800GPH​

I got a small water pump from Harbor Freight that I use to refill the tanks on water change day. For the mixing can I use a MUCH more powerful pump. I can create whitecaps on the top of a 32g Brute can with that pump on full blast lol.
