Water Change Tips Needed

leilani908 · Jan 19, 2020

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone had any tips for water changes. I'm looking for tools that'll help as I feel what I have isn't that good.
I also am getting tired of picking up a 5 gallon bucket to pour the water back in as I'm super weak, so it's a very difficult humorous process. Any tips on that to help make it easier? My tanks is 15 gal.

Grab a cheap return pump, like a Sicce 0.5 and hook up a flexible hose to it and use that to suck the water out of your display into a waste bucket. Then, sit that pump into the new saltwater bucket and use it to shoot the water into your display! Super quick processs. I did this for about a year and it made it super easy for my wife to do water changes for me when I was out of town.
